According the the PFBC site Tionesta lake is closed as of September 14th. Anyone know why or if it is still closed ?

I am surprised by this and have not idea why it closed early this year. The only thing I know of that is going on there is the repair of the Nebraska Bridge which is being done by PennDot.

Water levels are normal so that shouldn't be the reason.

I just spoke to the Army Corps of Engineers and was informed that the lake was closed because of the 9/11 threat and since that threat has past they have reopened the lake. I also spoke to the Fish and Boat Commission and they said they didn't know why the lake was closed but you could still use the Nebraska Access.
I didn't hear of any other lakes being closed because of 9/11, did anyone else?

I had to use the Nebraska launch on 9/11 but was told it was just for that particular day.

The lake is open according according to the ARMY CORPS, I did run into to issues at another lake over 9/11 but they said it was due to flooding concern. It seems to me though that while one says its open the other say its closed???????
