Summer isn't over yet! Get outdoors this weekend with a program at Sinnemahoning State Park.

Fly Fishing for Beginners, Saturday, August 24, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM. Have you ever watched a fly fisherman execute a graceful cast and wished that you could do the same? Join fly-fishing enthusiasts from the God's Country Chapter of Trout Unlimited for a program on the basics of this elegant sport. Learn about fly rods, reels, line, flies and the techniques used, then practice your new skills in the waters of the First Fork Sinnemahoning Creek. Free program. Tackle provided.

Austin Dam Disaster, Saturday, August 24, 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM. Learn the story of the Austin Dam that broke in September 1911, flooding most of the town and claiming over 70 lives. Who built it? Why did it break? And why are the ruins still there? Brief campground talk followed by 1-hour movie, "The Austin Disaster, 1911: A Chronicle of Human Character", produced by Gale Largey and narrated by Willie Nelson. Meet at Campground Amphitheater. In case of rain, program and movie will be held indoors in the Wildlife Center classroom. All are welcome to attend.
