Children’s Lake Dam Rehabilitation & Improvements

Located in Cumberland County, Children's Lake is a 7-acre impoundment owned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and managed by the Fish and Boat Commission (Commission) for public fishing and boating. The Commission’s plan for Children’s Lake Dam includes spillway and abutment improvements with ADA compliant sidewalk and roadway restoration, sediment removal, storm water treatment facilities, and stream bank and aquatic habitat improvements.
