Full Moonrise Event Series

Full Moonrise Event Series

Every Summer, we look forward to a variety of paddleboarding adventures across Pennsylvania.  Perhaps the most visually stunning and the ones we dream about all winter are the opportunities to watch the full moonrises over the water at Moraine State Park.  For years we have dialed in the perfect watching locations to give a stunning moonscape that starts above the rolling hills and reflects off the water of Lake Arthur.  These experiences include all the fun accoutrements of the Glow SUP experiences (glow necklaces, full LED board lighting, and free photography of your adventure) with the added activity of watching the moonrise (subject to weather of course).

3 Best Ways to Experience Fall Foliage at Moraine State Park

To many, fall foliage is Pennsylvania’s apex for natural beauty, and, perhaps the most beautiful visage of the ephemeral display can be seen in the reflection of Lake Arthur at Moraine State Park. A short drive from Pittsburgh, the lake is surrounded by rolling hills in a historic moraine depression that seems to cradle the Autumn colors and amplify the experience. Here are three great ways to experience the foliage at the iconic Park.

2016 PA SUP CHAMPIONSHIP

2016 PA SUP CHAMPIONSHIP

As the racers make the first turn in the PA SUP Championships at Moraine State Park, they are met with the sound of live music from the main stage of the Regatta at Lake Arthur. Thousands of people are sprawled out listening to the music, sifting through food trucks, and watching the sailboats, paddleboards and windsurfers jetting by.  A backdrop of thick conifers gives way to blue skies above the horizon of the lake and this is only the beginning.

The first eco-tour of every year is always a special one.  I am excited to see the changes in the landscape carved by winter’s touch, the emerging spring flowers, and the return of the Ospreys from their pilgrimage to South America.
