MORAINE STATE PARK

Moraine State Park is named for the glacial moraines that cover its land. The moraines were formed at the conclusion of the last glacial period, a time when glaciers covered much of North America. A tongue of the glacier reached into Pennsylvania and, as the ice receded, left deposits of gravel, sand and clay. These created a landscape of gently rolling hills. Moraine State Park spans 16,725 acres featuring Lake Arthur. The lake has two beaches along its shoreline.
