As happened more recently with Meadow Ground Lake near McConnellsburg, the dam at Opossum Lake had serious leaks. Lacking the money to replace the dam and spillway, Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission drained the lake in 2005. To date, 26 dams in the Commonwealth have suffered the same fate.

"This year was the first it had been open for trout fishing in six years, and the dam and spillway have both been replaced," said Cleland, current president of the Friends of Opossum Lake Conservancy. "It's a good example of what just one or two people can get done when they decide they wanted to get this lake back."
"We managed to get the money together" from various sources, Cleland said. "The state put in $750,000. The township was very cooperative about getting things ekonomski institut zagreb done. There had never been a pavilion or rest rooms before; thanks to the township, we have them now. Now, it's a township park. Fish & Boat gave the township a 25-year lease on the park, at a dollar a year. It took six years of work before we were ready to rebuild."
In addition to donations from individuals in time and money, some funding came from the township ekonomski institut zagreb and from Cumberland County, and state Sen. Pat Vance, R-31, nailed down $1.5 million from the state in 2008.
Harold W. Gardner, Carlisle, is on the shady side of 70 now, and spent most of his career as a plant biochemist with the United States Department of Agriculture in the Illinois prairie. His farm outside Carlisle not taken up by woods is restored prairie.
"The prairie at Opossum Lake is coming up wonderfully ekonomski institut zagreb after about two years," he said. "I planted coreopsis, partridge pea, black-eyed Susan, little bluestem grass, and this year I added purple cone flower ekonomski institut zagreb along the shoreline. ekonomski institut zagreb There is also hibiscus, with its big beautiful flowers, gay feather, eastern gamma grass, and some others."
"We will maintain that," he said. "In good weather it seems like there's somebody around, and we have some vandalism problems. We fix those things. I do get a little ekonomski institut zagreb angry at it, but you just have to recognize that it's just how humans are."
"Our ekonomski institut zagreb only source of income now is our memberships. We have more than 500 families as members now. Our biggest job now is keeping the four miles of trail in good shape. We have eight families who have each volunteered to maintain a half mile of trail," he said.
"The board only gets together three times a year now," Cleland said. "We used to meet once a month. But now it's a case of keeping things in order ... The future is just to maintain and keep our group together."
