- Moraine State Park -
225 Pleasant Valley Road, Portersville, PA 16051. At least four
continental glaciers helped to form this park. Moraine State Park features
3,225-acre Lake Arthur, an outstanding warm-water fishery that is also great
for swimming, sailing and boating. This park is filled with gently
rolling hills, lush forests and sparkling water. Swimming is permitted
at two beaches along the shore of Lake Arthur. The Pleasant Valley Day
Beach on the South Shore is a 1,200-foot sand beach. Lakeview Beach on
the North Shore is a 550-foot sand beach. Showers, changing facilities
and concession stands are available at both beaches. While Lake
Arthur is the primary attraction, with its swimming and boating areas plus a large
Marina, scenic hiking and biking trails provide plenty of additional
recreation opportunities.

Located seven miles southeast of New Castle on Route 422, McConnell's Mill
State Park features rock climbing, white water rafting, hiking trails, picnic
