Army Corps shares update on Francis E. Walter Dam water release schedule

The U.S. Army Corps Engineers’ Philadelphia District updated the 2025 Francis E. Walter Dam recreation plan.

The Army Corps updated the plan, which states whitewater and fisheries releases will be scheduled if enough water storage is accumulated in the reservoir. Currently, there is enough water storage to schedule the 12th increment of the plan:

• Add fishing releases for the period of September 13-26 (50 cubic feet per second)

It’s important to note that all recreational releases are subject to change based on the potential need for flood control operations.
