2013 Scheduled Whitewater Releases From Quemahoning Lake
Note (new policy from CSA): If water level at the Quemahoning Reservoir is between 1626.0 and 1626.5 on the Sunday before a planned release, then a release will be made on the following Saturday only; if the water level is greater than 1626.5, then the release will be held on both the following Saturday and Sunday. This may effect late summer releases. Watch here for updates.

Note: Greenhouse Park is not open for camping except for special events. Camping is available at Quemahoning Reservoir Recreation Area and at Nanty-Glo Park.
Also: For anyone using the Hollsopple ball field put-in. Please be careful where you park. Do not interfere with the ball field. Also, please don’t obviously drink beer or change clothes when the ball field is in use. We are guests and need to maintain good relationships with the good people of Hollsopple.
Please Help: Our club has an ongoing obligation to pay the salary of the personnel that operate the whitewater valve at Quemahoning Reservoir. Please help us pay for this by making a donation to our Whitewater Valve program through the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies. When you make a donation through their site, please designate SQI Whitewater for the donation. This is a tax deductable donation. Thank you.
