The Army Corps of Engineers yesterday announced the closure until further notice of facilities at a number of lakes and dams in western Pennsylvania, including Loyalhanna Lake outside of Saltsburg, Mahoning Creek Lake outside of Dayton, and Crooked Creek Lake outside of Ford City.
The closures include visitors’ centers, campgrounds, visitor centers, fishing areas and piers, restrooms, picnic areas, shelters, pavilions, maintenance officers, resource managers’ offices, disc golf courses, and playgrounds.
Boat ramps at the lakes will remain open. The Corps says those wishing to visit the lakes should contact the resource manager’s office first to see what’s restricted.
