MARIENVILLE — The US Department of Agriculture, Forest Service is accepting public comments on a proposal to improve facilities and enhance the visitor experience at Twin Lakes Recreation Area in the Marienville District of Allegheny National Forest.
The Forest Service, along with the Friends of Twin Lakes ANF, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, is proposing to make improvements to the water and wastewater systems, and construct and replace two fishing piers at the Twin Lakes Recreation Area.
District Ranger Daniele Gualtieri stated, “The Twin Lakes Recreation Area is a historic and treasured resource on the Allegheny National Forest. Many of our facilities within the recreation area have not been updated since the 1990s and need more than routine maintenance. With this proposal, we plan to begin making repairs and improvements as soon as the summer of 2025, with more work planned over the next several years.”
For more information, a scoping document is available for download at the project website. Printed copies are available upon request. Comments may be submitted at any time but would be most helpful if received by Jan. 21.
