DCNR lowering lake level at Little Pine State Park
A gradual, complete drawdown of the 94_acre lake at Little Pine State Park in Lycoming County is expected to begin July 5.
.
This drawdown will enable DCNR officials to complete removal of accumulated debris from around the lake outlet tower and upstream dam embankment. Lowering of the lake also will facilitate construction of a permanent maintenance access road along the existing upstream dam embankment to aid in future debris removal.

“DCNR is firmly committed to minimizing the scope of the work while limiting the effect on our valuable natural resources,” said Bureau of State Parks Director Roger Fickes. “These major projects must be undertaken, and they are timed to minimize the impact to Little Pine’s many visitors. The timing for this project is very critical and is scheduled to be accomplished during the period of minimal stream flows.

“DCNR is well aware of the tremendous recreational and economic value this state park brings to the Lycoming County area and is fully committed to restoring the lake to its original condition as soon as possible.”

Built in 1950 by Lycoming Construction Company in Williamsport, the dam primarily was designed for flood control especially along the West Branch of the Susquehanna River between Jersey Shore and Milton. The dam and its impoundment also provide numerous recreational activities for visitors to Little Pine State Park.

This complete drawdown will affect swimming, boating and fishing while the lake level is down. Camping, picnicking and other day-use activities will not be affected. The project is expected to be completed, with the lake level returned to normal, by Oct. 31. At that time, the lake level will permit resumption of normal recreational activities.
