Loyalhanna Lake

Do you ever wonder what the water temperature is at Loyalhanna? Use this link to check out current temps!

Loyalhanna’s boat launch is OPEN as of April 1, 2021! Please be careful while out on the lake. Watch out for debris and other hazards. The courtesy dock and navigation buoys are not yet installed. We will send an update once those are in place! Please remember a life jacket is required on all kayaks, canoes, and boats less than 16 feet in length.

Loyalhanna Lake Volunteer Justin and his crew were able to install several wood duck boxes along the water this past weekend. They removed the old boxes and plan to restore as many as possible to rehang them. Their efforts will help the wood duck population for years to come! Thank you for all your hard work and helping the wildlife habitat at Loyalhanna!

Join us on April 22, 2021 for our annual Earth Day Event! Volunteers are invited to help out in cleaning up the litter that flows down Loyalhanna Creek and washes onto the shoreline. For any questions or concerns please contact us at 724-639-9013 or on Facebook!
