YOUGHIOGHENY RIVER LAKE:

Authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1938, Youghiogheny River Lake is one of 16 flood control projects in the Pittsburgh District. The project provides flood protection for the Youghiogheny and lower Monongahela River Valleys as well as for the upper Ohio River. Since its completion in 1943, the Youghiogheny project has prevented flood damages estimated to be in excess of $569 million. Youghiogheny has the capability to store the equivalent run-off of 11 inches of precipitation from its 434 square mile drainage area. In addition to flood control, the dam helps to alleviate pollution problems by releasing additional water downstream during low water periods. Increased stream flow improves water quality by diluting polluted waters entering the rivers from towns, industries and coal mine drainage. The increased stream flow also improves the navigability of the Monongahela and upper Ohio Rivers for commercial navigation. Youghiogheny Hydroelectric Authority holds a license issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to operate a hydroelectric plant below the dam. D/R Hydro Company is the firm that has operated and maintained the plant since 1989. The power is fed into the Penelec power system and is used over its entire area which includes most of western and central Pennsylvania. The plant has the capacity to generate up to 12 megawatts of electricity per hour. This is enough to service approximately 8,000 homes for a year.

Last weekend! Lake is still full and beautiful, and grandsons got to wakeboard in October!

But “the times, they are a changin’!”

About 100 boats are still on the docks, so there’s likely to be a line at the ramp.

If you have a contract for storage with Caney or Lakeside get us a copy so we don’t have to bill you $10 a day starting Tuesday!

If you need us to get your trailer down from storage tell us when you need it ASAP or we may not be able to get it to you when you want it.

We still have reasonably priced inside storage in a new building on Montague Road, and outside storage in the upper lot. Stop in and see us!

So that’s why!

This time last year over half of Pennsylvania was in a drought.

This year? Less than 1%.

What a difference a year makes!

Not much I can say about the water level forecast—1445 by Saturday.

6’ ABOVE “Summer Pool,” for the end of September, 2026!

We’ll arrange shuttle service as best we can, just can’t pull the docks in far enough to avoid needing that.

Clean up day this weekend! Come on out and help clean up the lake we all enjoy!

Water level is still unbelievable.

About one-third of the docks are cleared out, season was ending up October 5, so make your plans. We still have indoor storage at Montague Road for about a dozen more boats. Reasonable rates.

Please give us 48 hours notice when you need your trailer brought down from storage!
