The Mahoning Creek Dam and reservoir are managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District. The dam is a concrete gravity dam that provides flood risk reduction to the lower Allegheny River Valley and upper Ohio River.
A small team of a natural resource managers, one full-time park ranger and three maintenance workers maintain Mahoning Creek Dam. The aging dam needs regular attention and maintenance and is due for a concrete facelift in the coming years.
The reservoir and surrounding federal lands encompass more than 2,900 acres, but much of it is leased to the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission and Armstrong County for various recreational purposes, including camping, boat launches, parks, fishing and hunting.
