Getting to Know Black Moshannon State Park with Park Manager Mathias Weinzen
Q: If you are a first-time visitor, what do you recommend?
The Bog Trail is the best introduction to the park, fully accessible, showcasing the bog ecosystem, and offering a glimpse of the park's birds, plants, and overall diversity; the Star Mill Trail is a personal favorite for a broader look at different ecosystems.
Getting to Know Black Moshannon State Park with Park Manager Mathias Weinzen
Q: Can we just start with what does the name Black Moshannon mean?
