RE:  Lake level down to 860 for maintenance to winter fishing boat
 ramp at the Cheat Lake Park, 10 feet below summer pool height
 
Anyone wishing to explore the Lake at low "tide" will find that
the Lake level is now 10 feet below its normal summer pool height.
This level is 860 feet above sea level.    The level will be maintained
at 860 until Wednesday evening.
 
The level will be kept at 860 for maintenance work by WV
Department of Natural Resources on the "new" boat ramp,
which is open only from November 1st to May 1st each year.
 
You can get a strange and interesting perspective on the
Lake when the level is down........... almost "wild and
wonderful".......though a bit unsightly.................
 
........see those islands out there, some are natural as
seen on maps prepared before the lake was created.
