Directions: From Murrysville, follow Rt. 22 east to New Alexandria and turn south (right) onto Rt. 981.  There are three access roads to the park from Rt. 981 between New Alexandria and Latrobe, all well marked, the first beginning about a quarter mile from the Rt. 22 intersection. Meet at the main parking area.

Description: With a wide variety of habitat types, Keystone State Park should provide a great opportunity to see the many different migratory birds that will be pouring into the state around this time. The park has over 180 species reported on eBird, including Osprey, Spotted Sandpipers, Wood Ducks, and warblers. We begin by surveying the lakeshore habitat and continue on any of the several trails in the park. Bring sturdy footwear and a packed lunch for afterward. There are restroom facilities on site.
