Industrial History: 1974 Raystown Dam on Raystown Branch Juniata River near Huntington, PA

I found statistics about the lake (usace), but not the dam.

May 15, 2025:

Raystown Lake, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers posted

𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐇 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓

Effective immediately, Snyder’s Run, Aitch, James Creek, Shy Beaver and Weaver Falls are closed until further notice due to lake level rise.

As of May 15, 2025 at 0700, the lake elevation is 788.68 ft and slowly rising. Inflow from Saxton is 15,400 cubic feet per second (cfs) and falling 500 cfs per hour.

We expect the lake to crest sometime this evening.

All three tainter gates at the Raystown Lake Spillway are currently open and releasing 15,500 cfs.

Closures Summary...

-Snyder's Run

-Aitch

-James Creek

-Shy Beaver

-Weaver Falls

Seven Points Boat Launch is open and not expected to close. If you go out on the lake, please be careful and watch for debris that may be partially or fully submerged.

Remember to alway wear your life jacket when out on the lake.

Stay tuned for more information as lake levels fall and launches are re opened.

[Some comments indicated that the normal lake level is 786. I'm surprised that a launch can't handle a rise of less than 3' (1m).]
