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.
