Through its northern and southern loops and connecting trails, this system offers over 75 miles of hiking in various combinations. One to five night trips can be planned which return to Parker Dam without retracing your steps. This trail also connects with the Susquehannock Trail System near the community of Sinnemahoning. This is a public park. It is used by fishermen, hikers, campers and others throughout the hunting season.
Fishing is a popular sport throughout the year.
Brook trout are stocked for both the spring and winter fishing seasons. Bluegills, crappie and catfish are also willing sport for anglers. An ice skating area, sledding and toboggan run are located at the park. The Moshannon State Forest, once covered with majestic pines and hemlocks, is now a tract of upland hardwood forest. The state forest with its lonely sentinel stumps of these once majestic pines and hemlocks offers visitors a glimpse of wilderness.
