That sounds like a place I would love to visit, Earl. I love outdoor activity, but right now it's egg cooking weather outside. Yet, Pennsylvania may be cooler-- maybe. How much discount do I get by saying, "Earl sent me."? :) Good entry for the Tourist Site contest.

Thank you very much for honoring me with a six star rating. Since I only had 700 words I left a lot more to see out like the fish hatchery, beaches, and wildlife museum. I appreciate you taking the time to read and review my work.

You've done well with your detailed description of this park and all that it offers to the visitor. It sounds huge - and must take a lot of maintenance and care to keep it nice. And sounds as if you enjoy it.

Great tourist information, it's fun seeing a bunch of carp sticking their heads out of the water begging for treats. We have a few places in Arizona that I have, but not it such a capacity, it would be fun to see.

Thank you for sharing this interesting story from your beautiful state. I have never been to Pymatuning Park, although I lived in Pennsylvania briefly as a little girl. (My mother is a native of your state.) Parks of such unique beauty are so important, especially when the weather is fine and can be enjoyed. This is a natural phenomenon, ducks walking upon fish! Thank you, Earl.
All my best,
Sal :+)

I really enjoyed reading this. It provided a lot of information about the state park and events one could do there. I like learning about areas and activities and of course indirectly about the people who visit the area, well done, thanks for sharing.

What a great title you've chosen for this interesting piece about a tourist attraction. It certainly sounds a very inviting place to visit. I would relish the chance to perhaps see some of the wildlife if they were around. Good luck in the contest.

A heartwarming affirmation of what sounds like a pretty nice place to be. I especially love the sound of the snow bound activities.. I live on the west coast of Australia and snow doesn't happen. A nice relaxed flow to this this. Typo with "needed(ed)". and (to) ice boat(ing) maybe? The backstory is terrific. Cheers - DJ

Comment from Alex Rosel
This was an interesting read. I enjoyed the imagining this park, and the brief history you give of its formation adds to the vision :)
Here are a few points you might like to consider:
it's so big it overflows into Ohio. -- I like this turn of phrase :)
17,088-acre Pymatuning Reservoir -- This confused me. The reservoir is bigger than the park. Yet you imply the reservoir is contained withing the park boundaries with The jewel in Pymatuning State Park's crown has to be the Spillway. Or am I being obtuse?
BTW, insert a period after Spillway.
Hours of free entertainment can be experienced watching the ducks trying to snatch thrown bread from the carp. â?? I like the imagery :)
The park is open 365 days a year, seven days a week, from sunrise to sunset. â?? Hmm, doesn't 365 days a year mean it has to be open 7 days a week? Personally, I'd omit the latter.

The reservoir acreage covers both PA and Ohio. The land acreage is only for the PA side. Thanks for the grammar and punctuation pointers. I appreciate you taking the time to read and review my work.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This sounds like a place I would love to visit Earl, I love wildlife and secretly watching, there seems plenty to do too, the photo looks geese, we have many in our local pool. I like that you say it is the 'happiest place on earth,' how lovely, love Dolly x

Thank you very much Dolly. I have pictures of the carp but they're not as clear as the one of the geese. I appreciate you taking the time to read and review my work.
