I highly recommend this park, lots to do. I will have to update my experience with the whole family.

The 25-50 people we saw were including the beach/swimming area, picnic area, boat rental area and the campground. I have been to Black Moshannon on several occasions in both the summer & winter. Both times of the year have their own beauty. We love to picnic and swim & fish there. My 8 yr old son has requested to go there again many times. Although we have never stayed at a cabin there or or camped there we have driven up to both the campgrounds and the cabins and would like to spend a longer time there one of these days. 2 yrs ago I did recommend it to a friend and we took our boys there for a day trip. They all seemed to have as much fun as we did.

The last tract of 9,909 acres was purchased from the Lehigh Valley Coal Co. in Centre County in 1956.
