Official website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means it's official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    Recreation Skills

    Pennsylvania’s outdoor recreation opportunities are as diverse as its people and places. Four seasons, mountains, rivers, lakes, and millions of acres of forests and fields serve as the settings for nearly every type of recreation.

     

    State parks offer programs to guide, educate, and support you as you explore the outdoors and its many recreation opportunities. Many educational opportunities are available for teachers, students, families, and visitors to experience recreational activities. Learn how to kayak, introduce fishing to your child, or share your love of hiking with your students.
