Moraine has many rock gardens and dare I say boulder fields on the black diamond trails. If you like technical features this place is for you. Some of the gardens would require some real skill and power. I rode in March after a brief shower on a short travel XC rig. The rocks were pretty slick under my shoes but my wheels still had grip. I lacked the confidence to tackle many of them (riding alone). Most were pretty short and easy to hike a bike around. I’d love to come back with flat pedals and dry conditions and my knee/elbow pads.

Lake Arthur, the central feature of the park, spans 3,225 acres with 42 miles of shoreline, attracting over one million visitors every year. The lake is a warm-water fishery, home to fish species like northern pike, largemouth bass, channel catfish, black crappie, and bluegill. Visitors can swim at two beaches: Lakeview Beach on the North Shore, a 656-foot sand beach, and Pleasant Valley Beach on the South Shore, a 400-foot turf and sand beach with amenities like sand volleyball, playgrounds, showers, changing facilities, and snack bars. The beaches are open daily from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day, 8:00 a.m. to sunset, with swimming at your own risk as there is no lifeguard.

The park's rolling hills and sparkling lakes are remnants of the Wisconsin glaciation, making it a living museum of Earth's dynamic past. Traverse gentle paths through woodlands, conquer challenging climbs, or enjoy leisurely rides overlooking the water.
