YORK COUNTY, Pa. — Editor's Note: The above video is from August 2019.
Pinchot Lake at Gifford Pinchot State Park will undergo a short-term drawdown next week while maintenance staff performs repairs and improvements at the Quaker Lake swimming beach, the Conewago Day Use Area, and other shoreline locations, park officials said Wednesday.
The work is scheduled to begin on Oct. 26, according to park officials.
The 340-acre lake will remain open to both fishing and boating during this time, but launching boats may be difficult and shoreline fishing may be limited, park officials said.
No other park facilities will be impacted by the drawdown, according to park officials.
Once all the repair projects are completed, the lake will be re-filled as precipitation permits, while maintaining adequate downstream flow, park officials said.
