Weaver Falls Shelter
Closed — The shelter is closed for the winter season and is typically available for reservation during the warmer months.
Special Weather Statement issued December 31 at 7:40PM EST by NWS State College PA
A strong cold front moving in will help to generate a line of heavier snow showers and possibly embedded dangerous snow squalls across northwest and central Pennsylvania. We expect heavy snow showers and possible squalls to be on a line from: * Near Coudersport to Bradford to Warren between 10 and 11 pm. * Near Mansfield to St. Mary's to Dubois between 11 pm and midnight. * Near Jersey Shore to Lock Haven to Clearfield between midnight and 1 am. * Near Williamsport to State College to Altoona to Somerset between 1 and 2 am. * Near Bloomsburg to Harrisburg to Mechanicsburg between 2 and 3 am. * Near Lancaster to York between 3 and 4 am. If snow squalls develop, they will last for up to 10 to 15 minutes in any one location, with up to a half-inch to an inch of snow in that timeframe, along with possible wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph. This would result in a quick reduction in visibility and perhaps localized icy roads, should a flash freeze develop. Low traction and blinding visibility of a snow squall can make travel very dangerous very quickly. If this combination of ingredients becomes imminent, snow squall warnings would be issued, with very specific information on timing, movement, and portions of interstate highways to be affected. Please monitor the latest conditions in your area overnight if you will be out driving. Use extra caution if you must travel into a snow squall, slow down, and consider exiting the highway. Rapid changes in visibility and potentially slick roads may lead to accidents. Please use extreme caution and allow plenty of stopping distance. Avoid braking suddenly.
About
Weaver Falls Shelter is situated at the south end of Raystown Lake along the main lake channel, providing a scenic location for group picnics and gatherings. The fully accessible shelter comfortably accommodates up to 80 people with approximately 10 picnic tables under cover and offers views of the lake. The facility does not have electricity or potable water, though generators may be used with advance permission from park ranger staff. The recreation area features a boat ramp providing direct access to the 8,300-acre Raystown Lake, popular for boating, fishing, and water sports. A playground is located within 50 feet of the shelter, making it ideal for family gatherings. Vault restrooms are available approximately 300 yards from the shelter. Dumpsters are provided in adjacent parking lots, though parking is first-come, first-served and cannot be guaranteed with reservations. When not reserved, the shelter is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The shelter operates during daylight hours from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., with all activities concluding by 10:00 p.m. for quiet hours. The area is accessible from PA Route 913 near the town of Saxton and offers proximity to other Raystown Lake recreation areas including Seven Points Recreation Area, Tatman Run, and multiple boat launches.
