WORTH TWP — An excess of rain inflated Lake Arthur, but Moraine State Park management said no major problems resulted.

As of Friday, the park received between 4 and 4.5 inches of rain in the past week, according to the National Weather Service of Pittsburgh. All the run-off added up: lake gauges maintained by the park showed a maximum water height about two feet higher than usual.

Brian Flores, assistant park manager, said the overfilled lake would still need to rise an additional two feet for emergency warning systems to be triggered for the lake's dam.

“It looks to be leveling out now,” Flores said Friday afternoon. “It's already dropped a couple inches.”

Lee Hendricks, a hydrologist with the National Weather Service, said similar flooding was hitting waterways all over the region.

“We're having that in a lot of places, even in some of the lower spots along the Allegheny River,” Hendricks said. “There's a lot of water out there still, and water levels are going to fall slowly.”

At Lake Arthur's Davis Hollow Marina, boat-owners adjusted to deal with underwater docks.

Kirstin Legler drove from her home in Washington, Pa., Friday to make sure her 18-foot Marshall Sanderling catboat, a type of sail boat, wasn't in trouble. She found that many of the concrete docks in the area were underwater, but the boats seemed fine.

“The high water affects how the boats have to be tied,” she explained. “I came down to make sure the lines were doing what they're supposed to be doing.”

She noted that a dock containing a gasoline refilling station was partially underwater.

Flores said that wasn't a hazard. The dock, fuel system and electronics were specially encased and designed to withstand such flooding.

“It just looks dramatic with the gas out there, but it's designed to be there,” Flores said.

In the wake of high water, he said, park rangers were closely monitoring docks and all boating activity looking for snapped lines or anything out of the ordinary.
