Moraine State Park

Portersville, Pennsylvania

DAY USE ONLY

Equestrian’s will enjoy easy access to the 20 miles of trails winding across the southern and eastern sides of Lake Arthur, through several parking areas scattered around the park perimeter. Parking is all that you’ll find here so make sure to bring water for both your stock and yourself.

Regardless of where you ride at Moraine State Park you’ll be experiencing a success story of reclamation. Nearly the entire park area has been heavily mined at some point in the past. Prior to the park opening in 1970 over 400 oil and gas wells were capped, strip mines were filled in, and thousands of trees were replanted. In spite of the extensive intervention the area is now remarkably tranquil. As you ride down the trail it’s hard to imagine the surrounding forest as an industrial zone only 50-60 years ago. Instead you’ll be treated to beautiful forest, chance sightings of osprey and bald eagles, and of course, peaks of Lake Arthur with its sailboats sparkling like gems on the water.

Trail conditions here vary a bit, but one certainty is rocks, you’ll find rocky areas scattered throughout the trail system so some type of hoof protection is advised. Other than that the trails here are marked and maintained so there shouldn’t be too much trouble.
