## About

Keystone State Park marks Halloween with a costumed paddle on Keystone Lake: participants are invited onto the water dressed in their best witch costume. The group launches from the Beach Boat Launch. Paddlers who bring their own boat or paddleboard do not need to register; registration is required only for those who need one of the park's stand-up paddleboard rentals, which are limited. Life jackets are required, and the park recommends previous paddling experience. The park is also collecting non-perishable food items for local food banks during the event, so families can bring a donation. Questions go to the Keystone State Park Visitor Center at 724-668-2566.
