Maurice K. Goddard State Park, State park in Mercer County, United States.
The 2,856-acre park contains the 1,860-acre Lake Wilhelm, surrounded by forests, wetlands, and open fields that support diverse wildlife populations.
The park opened in 1972, named after Maurice K. Goddard who worked to establish state parks within 25 miles of every Pennsylvania resident.
The Friends of Goddard State Park organization leads community events such as Pioneer Frolic and Music at the Marina throughout the year.
The park features a 12.2-mile paved trail around Lake Wilhelm for hiking and biking, plus 241 boat slips at the marina for water activities.
Lake Wilhelm serves as a stopping point for numerous waterfowl species during spring and fall migrations, while hosting nesting bald eagles and ospreys.
