Sinnemahoning State Park Weekend Events

 Marvelous Migrating Monarchs Saturday, September 8, 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM

Every fall thousands of Monarch butterflies migrate from Pennsylvania to their overwintering grounds in central Mexico. Join Sinnemahoning State Park staff to learn about monarch butterflies, their annual migration, and what we can do to help these marvelous insects to survive.

This free, family-friendly program will begin with a presentation in the Park Office & Wildlife Center classroom, followed by a short walk around the gardens and fields to look at monarch habitat and, hopefully, catch a glimpse of these beautiful butterflies. If monarch butterflies are present, the group will have an opportunity to participate in Monarch Watch butterfly tagging. Arial nets will be provided and participants will be able to help tag and release the butterflies.

Evening Kayak Tour Saturday, September 8, 6:00 PM -8:00 PM

Join the Sinnemahoning State Park staff and volunteers at the George B. Stevenson boat launch at 6:00 PM for a relaxing evening paddle on the reservoir, learn about local plants, animals and local history while enjoying the quieter atmosphere of the lake life. Bring your kayak or use one of ours!

Pre-registration is required for this free program. All experience levels are welcome, participants under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. PFD's are required to be worn for all State Parks boating programs.
