As in previous years, Fred and Aleta have reserved a cabin at Moraine State Park north of Pittsburgh for our first on-water outing of the year. Join us and welcome an Appalachian Spring that's been a long time coming!
Fred says, “Arrive early. Dogs are permitted. Launch permits are required. If we aren’t there, we’ll be in Portersville having breakfast at Brown’s restaurant. WCHA road signs will be posted to the cabin area on the north shore.”
As usual, hamburgers, hot dogs, and soft drinks will be provided. A side dish offering will be appreciated.
Fred reminds us that paddling Moraine requires a PA boat launch permit.
Get one ahead of time:
Buy a Launch Permit
PFBC Launch Permits are required for unpowered boats that are not registered and plan to launch at a PFBC or State Park/Forest boating access.
