Summer is the perfect time to hit the shore.
County residents can fish, sail, swim and sunbathe along the shores of Lake Arthur at Moraine State Park.
They can drop a line or paddle around Glade Run Lake in Middlesex Township.
Some prefer the faster pace of whitewater in Slippery Rock Creek or kayaking Connoquenessing Creek.
Others head for the Allegheny River. Power boats and jet skis race through East Brady Pool 9. Some take a trip downstream.
