Some areas at Blue Marsh Lake will be closed to public access from April 11 to May 18 due to paving and construction work along park roadways, the Army Corps of Engineers Philadelphia District announced.

Areas to be affected include:

• Visitor Center and Administration Area

• Stilling Basin Access, including the Blue Marsh Lake Trail and Mountain Bike Skills Area

• Dry Brooks Day Use Area, including all facilities within the Day Use Area including the swim beach, pavilions, the Eyes of the Eagle Sensory Trail, and bathroom buildings.
