Thread: Shenango

The launch is open again, but when we get more rain this week, it may not be.

The Clark Boat Launch is currently closed. 4:00 pm pool: 896.16, 24 hour elevation change was +0.74 feet.

Between yesterdays downpour and today, this isn't a surprise. Hearing part of the campground is also flooded. And after no rain predicted for tomorrow, will then get more rain into next Monday.

The Clark Launch and Golden Run Wildlife Area (west and east ends, including the launch) are closed due to the rising pool. All other boat launches are currently open.

We are getting, pretty much all day rains, and some torrential at times.

The following areas are closed due to flooding: Clark Boat Launch, Golden Run Access Area (East and West ends), Big Bend Access Area, New Hamburg Access Area, Kidds Mill Access Area, Bayview ORV Area, and Campsites #268-277. We will continue to provide updates on closures and re-opening

It's getting worse, not better. Maybe a few days from now, it will get better, unless they let Pymy drain some of their water.
