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.
