Tips from the Community

March 16, 2025, Moraine State Park Bike Trail Along Lake Arthur

I actually rode here and won’t copy paste a tip from some website, who are these people? Park at the far western end of the trail and use the tire pump at the bike rental place to pump your MTB tires up nice and hard. Lock out your suspension and have a blast carving the corners all the way to the marina and up the hill to the Parking lot on Glacier Ridge. You‘re all warmed up! Bleed out some air and ride the trails back down.

This is great, maybe one of the best paved multi use trails I’ve been on. I rode a bike and really enjoyed all the corners and short climbs as the path twisted along Lake Arthur. Road bike friendly, as many trees as there were I was suprised the asphalt wasn’t pushed up by roots at all and the surface was fast. Numerous pavilions, picnic tables, benches, bathrooms and green lawns for breaks.

August 15, 2024, Rapp's Seat

Rapp's Seat, located on a steep hillside in Harmony, is a stone-carved chair created by George Rapp, founder of the Harmony Society. Rapp would climb the hill to meditate and look over the town. The site is accessible via wooden steps constructed in 1999 as an Eagle Scout project. The trail leads to a rock outcrop where the seat provides a view of the town and surrounding landscape. Although trees now obstruct some of the view, visitors can still climb to the top often.

The Mennonite Meeting House and Cemetery, preserved by the Harmony Museum, is a beautiful 1825 building that was used as a church, school, and social center for the Mennonite community led by Abraham Ziegler. The building's acoustics make it ideal for small concerts and weddings. Visitors can view it from the street or visit its historic charm during museum hours, from Tuesday to Friday, 12:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. For more information, call (724) 452-7341.

Established in 1792, this unique small town is famous for its roadside attraction—the Mars “Spaceship” or “Flying Saucer,” located in the town square, for some great photo opportunities. Visitors can enjoy fun “alien sightings” in the storefront windows and send mail from the post office to receive the unique Mars, PA postmark. The town is also home to the Mars Station, one of the few remaining railroad depots from the now defunct Pittsburgh and Western Railroad.
