Most of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ state parks feature a lake. All of them have hiking trails. Many hold the potential for combining the two.
While a few state parks have individual trails that entirely encircle their lakes, many have trail and road systems that can be combined into a lake-circling route.
Maps of all these state parks showing the roads and trails can be found through DCNR’s Find A Park webpage:
Black Moshannon State Park, near Philipsburg – Around Black Moshannon Lake: Moss-Hanne Trail (2 boardwalk sections and plenty of wet areas), Beaver Road, Star Mill Trail, Beaver Road, Route 504 and West Side Road. About 12 miles; easy.
Harrisburg, Pa. â Beginning this week, due to the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Commonwealth, all in-person programs staffed by state park employees and DCNR volunteers or friends groups have been canceled. The cancellations will remain in effect until further notice for all state parks.
The cancellation applies to all in-person programs on the parks calendars of events at events.dcnr.pa.gov. Virtual and self-guided programs may be offered.
First Day Hikes on January 1 have all been canceled, including those at Hills Creek, Lyman Run, and Sinnemahoning State Park.
Planning for in-person programs at five of the Hills Creek State Park Complex sites (Hills Creek, Lyman Run, Cherry Springs, Leonard Harrison, and Colton Point) is also impacted by this shutdown. No in-person programs will be held at the other three state parks in the complex (Prouty, Patterson and Denton Hill).
