The Towns of Butler County

When visitors come to Butler County, they are never disappointed by what our small towns have in store... and the offerings keep getting better!

The Great Outdoors

Moraine State Park

What if there was a place you could go that offers outdoor adventure and discovery year-round—A place where you can explore scenic trails, bike along the glistening shoreline, or even enjoy a round of disc golf on a championship course. Introducing Moraine State Park, Butler County’s top attraction! There’s so much that this State Park has in store... the only question is, what are you going to do first?

Fishing:

You’ll be hooked when fishing at Moraine State Park. Enjoy your time on the calm waters of Lake Arthur consisting of 3,225 acres. Rent a boat or bring your own, but only 20hp motors are permitted. Lake Arthur features many boat launches and great fishing spots. Common species include Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, Channel Catfish, Black Crappie, and Bluegill.

Boating:

Another favorite activity is boating, and there are many options at Moraine State Park. From canoes and kayaks to sailboats and pontoon boats, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. The park has nine public boat launches and boat rentals as well. For non-motorized boats, consider launching at Pleasant Valley on the South Shore. The North Shore has a wonderful launch at the McDanels Area. For a truly peaceful experience, paddle in the cove past the cabins.

Biking:

A scenic 7-mile paved bike path located on the north shore winds its way throughout the park and alongside the shoreline. The trail can be accessed at many places in the Lakeview Beach and Watts Bay Marina areas. This scenic trail is not a loop and has several grades and curves. The north shore also features a 6-mile loop trail for mountain bikes. This technical trail is for experienced off-road riders in good physical condition who have equipment for off-road riding. It was named one of the most technical mountain bike trails in the world!

Shown here is Robyn Brewer mountain biking on the Moraine mountain bike trails.

Hiking:

This beautiful park features 38 miles of trails that wander through forests and grassy areas, along lake edges and past wetlands. You can also hike along the Glacier Ridge Trail, which is a part of The North Country National Scenic Trail that stretches all the way from North Dakota to New York. For your safety and to protect the resource, please stay on the trails.

Disc Golfing:

Head over to the north shore for an exciting game of disc golf at Lakeview Disc Golf Course. This 18-hole disc golf course is a par 66 championship level course that offers spectacular views and scenery while challenging disc golfers with a strenuous but rewarding workout. The course was used as part of the 2015 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships!

Stand-Up

Paddleboarding:

Stand-up paddleboarding, also known as “SUP,” is a beginner and family friendly pursuit and one of the best ways to experience Pennsylvania’s beautiful waterways. You will be provided with all the necessary equipment and can look forward to sharing the experience with SurfSUP Adventures’ expert guides and instructors.

Swimming:
