Recreation sites at several lakes in the Pittsburgh area will be
closed for Labor Day weekend because recent rainfall has raised
the water levels, the Army Corps of Engineers announced Friday.
The boat ramps at Bow Ridge and Aultman's Run at Conemaugh Lake
likely will remain closed throughout the weekend as will the boat
launch and campground at the Bush Recreation Area at Loyalhanna
Lake.
Tunnelville Beach and the Crooked Creek Lake boat launch at
Crooked Creek Lake are expected to be closed through Monday while
crews clean up near the pool. The beach is scheduled to close for
the season on Monday.
The Doe Run Pleasant Creek Wildlife Management Area at Tygart Lake
could reopen on Sunday.
At Youghiogheny Lake, part of the campground, the beach and launch
ramp at the Mill Run Recreation Area will be closed through the
holiday weekend as will the beach at walk-in tent sites. The Tub
Run Campground, beach and walk-in tent sites, Spillway Recreation
