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.

WAYNE COUNTY, Pa. Sunshine and temps in the 50s and 60s can help anyone out of a winter funk, and Central Park in Honesdale was the place to be for fresh air and Vitamin D.
We found many people out on lunch break to stretch their legs. Some of those with two legs and several four-legged as well. My office is actually across the street, so she s a work puppy, and so she comes to work, and she likes to walk the park, and it s beautiful. Finally! said Ally Brock of Hawley with her puppy River.
Bundle up and have snow much fun outside

SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY, Pa. Mother Nature has given us some beautiful scenes so far this winter, especially in places like Union Dale in Susquehanna County, where there s still a good amount of snow left.
Bob Brown was working on a snowmobile to make sure it was running smoothly. He said this is the most snow they ve had in years, and the long bouts of cold weather help the snow stick around.
