PORTERSVILLE — Peacefulness can be found at Moraine State Park.

“You're just out there on a gorgeous day like this, and you're floating, looking at everything on the lake and the sky and the birds,” said Lynne Davis, a Grove City resident. “It's just so peaceful.”

Seven people from the Evans City Senior Center and other area senior centers kayaked last week on Lake Arthur within Moraine State Park.

“It's so neat the senior center offers this for us,” said Davis, who has attended the kayaking trip for three years. “It's beautiful.”

Dorothy Weisberg, Evans City senior center manager, who brings three kayaks of her own, has kayaked for 10 years and describes herself as an outdoor person.

For the past five years, Weisberg has offered the excursion to members of her senior center and other centers.

Outdoor activities give seniors the chance to experience something new, she said.
