    COME FOR THE FUN OF IT!

Take the time to enjoy the sites and sounds of the Dayton/ Smicksburg area and see what all we have to offer. From the quaint shops to the tantalizing aromas coming from the restaurants, to the clippety-clop of the Amish horse and buggies. ​

    Overview

    Authorized by the Flood Control Acts of 1936 and 1938, Crooked Creek Lake is one of 16 flood control projects in the Pittsburgh District. An important link in a system of flood control projects, Crooked Creek provides flood protection for the lower Allegheny and Ohio rivers. The construction cost of over $4 million appears small when compared to the giant saving which have resulted. Since its completion in 1940, the project has prevented flood damages estimated to be in excess of $548 million. Crooked creek also stores water and releases it downstream during dry periods to improve water quality and quantity for domestic and industrial use, navigation, recreation, aesthetics and aquatic life.

A boat launch with ample trailer parking is available for boating and waterskiing enthusiasts.
