[CLEAR] Cheat Lake Level Down One Foot and Receding

Due to decreasing inflows and low precipitation Cheat lake elevation is expected to continue decreasing below summer pool. Please consider removing any boats that may be affected. The boat launch at the Cheat Lake Park is now open. ***The South Trail at Cheat Lake Park is temporarily closed until further notice due to trail damage from storms***

THE LAKE WATER LEVEL IS CURRENTLY AT 867.0 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL. THIS IS ONE FOOT DOWN BELOW THE LOWER SUMMER POOL HEIGHT.

DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE. THE OUTFLOW FROM THE DAM COULD BE INCREASED IF NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN A SUFFICIENT DISSOLVED OXYGEN DOWNSTREAM.
