Black Moshannon State Park, State park and nature reserve in Centre County, Pennsylvania, United States.
Black Moshannon State Park spans 3,394 acres of forests and wetlands, featuring a 250-acre lake surrounded by extensive bog systems.
Pennsylvania established the park in 1937, following restoration efforts by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression.
The name originates from the Seneca Nation term 'Moss-Hanne,' meaning moose stream, reflecting the indigenous presence in this region.
The park maintains multiple camping areas with modern facilities, including flush toilets, showers, and ADA accessible amenities throughout the grounds.
The water in Black Moshannon Lake exhibits a distinct dark color due to plant tannins filtering through sphagnum moss beds.
