Portersville Parks & Gardens

McConnell's Mill State Park boasts Class II to Class IV rapids for rafting, rock climbing areas and fishing spots. Visitors are asked to use caution in the park, as the water is very treacherous and the terrain is steep and rocky. Hiking, hunting and picnicking are also welcomed activities, and a restored gristmill is open for tours from late May until early September from 10:30am to 5:30pm.

Once devastated by oil and coal extractions, Moraine State Park was transformed into a 16,000-acre playground for all ages. Recreational facilities include a sandy beach for swimming; Lake Arthur for fishing, boating and windsurfing; nearly 30 mi (48 km) of trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding; and designated camping sites, as well as a number of winter activities. A bike rental shop, a marina and a seasonal concession stand are also found in the park.
