The park covers 3,394 acres including the 250-acre Black Moshannon Lake. The Black Moshannon Division of the Moshannon State Forest surrounds the park. Motorized boats must display a current registration. Boats registered in other states must display a Pennsylvania State Park launch permit in addition to their current registration. Ninety mooring spaces and 4 boat launch areas are provided.
Boat rentals are available in the summer season.
The lake provides fishing for warm water game fish and panfish. Black Moshannon Creek, below the lake, contains trout. Trout fishermen can enjoy their sport in several nearby streams which include Six Mile Run, Black Bear Run and Bald Eagle Creek. Pennsylvania Fish Commission regulations apply. A 16-mile trail network invites you to explore the park on foot.
