Public Notice: Recreation Access Update for Croton River and New Croton Dam Pathway
Dear DEP Access Permit Holder:
The recent drawdown of the New Croton Reservoir that started September 6, 2022, leading the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to issue an advisory against recreational activities in the Croton River, has now ended and is no longer in effect.
The reservoir level was lowered to allow DEP to conduct routine inspections of the dam and spillway, which will be ongoing through the middle of October. While water levels will be lower than during the increased release, please be aware that higher than normal releases (75-100 MGD) will continue until the inspections are complete to maintain the current level of the reservoir.
In addition, as part of the inspection process and for the public's safety, the pathway at the top/crest of the dam will be closed to pedestrian and bicycle access from Monday, September 26, through Wednesday, October 5, 2022. Thank you for being understanding as we complete this important work.
For recreation questions call 1-800-575-LAND (5263)
