Acme Lake

A Blast from the past

Geese on Acme Dam one sunny morning

Acme Dam, just off of Rt. 30, remains colorful even in the winter.

This is Acme Dam this morning...snowing up in the higher elevations of the 'shed. Happy Halloween!

Still nowing and flooding at Acme Dam this morning.

Acem Dam was overflowing onto Acme Dam Road this morning...getting close to County Line Road also.

The ducks at Acme Dam are ready for spring...

PA 2017 Adult Trout Stocking Schedules Now Available!!! The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) announced today that the 2017 adult trout stocking sche...dules are now available online and on the PFBC’s FishBoatPA mobile app. Included in this year’s stocking lists are the Keystone Select Stocked Trout Waters, a program where 14 waters across the state will be stocked with large 14 - 20 trout. Approximately 4,500 large trout will be distributed among the 14 waters at a rate of 175 to 225 per mile, which is comparable to the numbers of similarly sized fish in Pennsylvania’s best wild trout waters. To find the stocking dates for your county, go here: http://fbweb.pa.gov/stocking/TroutStockingDetails_GIS.aspx For more information, please visit: http://www.media.pa.gov//fish-and-Boat-Commission-Details.

A Blast from the past

Hook, Line & Sink-Into Recycling The Fayette County Conservation District, working in conjunction with the Jacobs Creek Watershed Association, the Brownsville A...rea High School Environmental Club, local Boy Scout Troop 150, the Fayette County Public Works Department and the PA Fish and Boat Commission has installed and will maintain 20 monofilament recycling receptacles between Dunlap Lake and Greenlick Lake. In addition to installing the recycling receptacles, the partnership will work together to recycle the fishing line, develop and install two educational signs and coordinate annual clean-up events. The project is sponsored by a grant from the Community Foundation of Fayette County and supported by Lowe’s #0187. Improperly discarded monofilament (fishing line) is a source of nonpoint source pollution that negatively impacts our watersheds and can be hazardous to humans and animals. Monofilament is strong, thin and almost invisible and may stay in a water body for as long as 600 years. Wildlife may swallow fishing line, resulting in illness or death, or they may become entangled resulting in drowning, strangulation, starvation, loss of limb, disfigurement or other life-threatening injuries. Fishing line can also be a threat to swimmers and boaters. Humans can be caught on hooks hidden in discarded line and may drown if they become entangled. Boat propellers snared in discarded line may seize up resulting in costly repairs. The monofilament recycling receptacles were constructed from PVC pipe and were mounted on posts at selected sites throughout each park. Signs on the receptacles alert anglers to the recycling efforts and will be complimented with educational arboretum style signage that will be installed at key locations in each park to highlight the importance of monofilament recycling as well as the simple efforts individuals can take to improve the lake environment.
