Geocache Description:


WELL I FOUND ANOTHER DAM WITHOUT CACHES.......THE CACHE LINE HAS GONE SO WELL AND BEEN WELCOMED BY THE STAFF OVER AT THE CONEMAUGH DAM RECREATION AREA I THOUGHT THAT WE'D TRY IT HERE..........THE DAM AREA HAS A PICNIC AREA,PLAYGROUND ,HIKING TRAILS AND LOTS OF DIRECTIONS TO HEAD FOR FISHING............Authorized by the Flood Control Acts of 1936 and 1938, Loyalhanna Lake is one of 16 flood control projects in the Pittsburgh District. An important link in a system of flood control projects, Loyalhanna provides flood protection for the lower Loyalhanna Creek and Kiskiminetas River valleys as well as the lower Allegheny and upper Ohio Rivers. Since its completion in 1951, Loyalhanna has prevented more than $529 million in flood damage. The project has the capability to store the equivalent run-off of 6.16 inches of precipitation from its 290 square mile drainage area. When compared to the flood prevention benefits which have resulted, the construction cost of $5.5 million appears small.......BOATING AND CAMPING ACCESS IS AVAILABLE AT THE UPPER END OF THE LAKE.............YOUR LOOKING FOR A TUPPERWARE CONTAINER IN A NICE QUIET PLACE TO DO YOUR LOGGING AND TRADING (PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE TRAVEL BUGS AND COINS ARE TO BE MOVED ALONG ...NOT FOR YOUR PRIVATE COLLECTION...ALWAYS LOG YOUR FINDS) ....ACCESS TO THE RECREATION AREA IS OFF OF ROUTE 981 NEAR SALTSBURG.............PLENTY OF PARKING CLOSE BY.........
