Fishing Alert

Attention Flatbrook Anglers - the National Park Service Road Route 615 (NPS 615) is closed between Flatbrookville and Haneys Mill Road due to a landslide.

Trout stocking will continue as scheduled and all typical stocking locations in Flatbrookville will be stocked as scheduled including the area near the USGS gauging station. Anglers will not be able to drive through the area impacted by the landslide, but can drive to within a few 100 feet of the landslide from both directions.

Anglers can access Flatbrookville and the stocking locations below the landslide in Flatbrookville from the South on NPS-615. The USGS gauging station area can be reached from the North along NPS-615.
