Winter Outing at Shawnee State Park, Pavilion #7
Winter enthusiasts are invited to come out of their burrows on Groundhog Day and join members of the Allegheny Plateau Audubon Society (APAS) and Somerset County Conservancy (SCC) for a winter outing at Shawnee State Park.
We will meet at Pavilion #7, which is a short walk from the lake’s edge, and the Lake Shore, Fenton and Tiday Trails. We will plan on birdwatching and a nature finding hike for fun; however, if seasonal conditions enable, we may sled, ski, snowshoe, or maybe even explore the frozen lake.
An after-walk potluck lunch and social is planned. What should you bring? You can pack your own lunch or bring enough to share. Just think of how nice it will be to share hot chili, sweet rolls, hot chocolate, or mulled cider! Be creative with any yummy foods that would be great outside!
Please wear your outdoor gear to the pavilion where we will share our food and stories of the past year. Check the weather and use your best judgment. Accommodations include a nearby year-round restroom, charcoal grill, and electricity in the pavilion. Bring your own beverages to ensure there is something you like.
There is no set schedule, but we plan to meet at Pavilion #7 just off Felton Road at 10:00 AM.
Not an APAS or SCC member, no problem, EVERYONE is invited!
No RSVP is required. If you have questions, please contact Sandy Cline (814-442-6825) or Adam Katrancha (814-254-5752)
