Long Arm Dam was constructed in 1964. It
has a capacity of 1,659,400,000 gallons. This dam helps suppy
the needed supply for 2 water tanks containing 750,000
gallons of finished water, 175 miles of water mains ranging
in size from 4" to 20" in diameter, 14,120 service
connections and 833 firehydrants. Consumers in Hanover
Borough, Penn Township, McSherrystown Borough and Conewago
Twp, use a combined total of approximately 5,000,000 gallons
per day!! WOW!
This is a fun place to fish,
kayak, picnic , hike , bring your dog for a walk or
even nature watch. Located at the south end of the lake,
opposite end of the dam location, is also an eagle perch. If
you have good timing, you may even see one perched here,
checking out the area.
As always, please place
cache container back in as good as or better position than
when you found it to keep the fun going for many cachers
after you. Try to place it back in the exact spot to keep the
position the same for others trying to lacate the well camo`d
container. Depends on the time of year there should`nt
be too many muggles around, however, during the summer this
area can become quite busy.
Thanks for taking time to
check out our cache.
