RAYSTOWN LAKE, Pa. -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Baltimore District, will close Snyder’s Run Boat Launch from September 30th, 2024 - October 13th, 2024 to complete repairs to the launch ramp approach area.
The closure will allow USACE time to complete road surface repairs by removing old deteriorating asphalt in the approach area to Snyder’s Run boat ramp and replacing it with newly poured concrete. The temporary closure is not expected to have an impact to recreation outside of Snyder’s Run. During the closure, visitors who would otherwise use Snyder’s Run should consider using the Seven Points public boat launch to access the lake.
For more information on the closure, contact Park Ranger Scott Graham by email at scott.t.graham@usace.army.mil or by phone at 814-658-6808.
