INDIAN LAKE, Pa. (AP) - Boaters will likely have one less place to frolic on Memorial Day weekend because a popular southwestern Pennsylvania lake remains closed due to low water levels.
The (Somerset) Daily American (https://bit.ly/1gaMG79 ) reports it’s unlikely that Indian Lake will open in time for the three-day holiday weekend.
Mike Miscoe, the mayor and police chief of the tiny Somerset County borough named for the lake, says the lake will be closed for all recreational use until the water level rises four feet. The level remains low because some water was released from the man-made lake last year so work could be done to bring its dam up to new flood standards required by the state Department of Environmental Protection.
Low water levels can bring logs and other debris too close to the surface, which endangers boaters.
