**Location & Access**
The Acme Dam boat ramp is located at Chestnut Ridge Park near Acme in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, approximately one mile south of State Route 31 between Mount Pleasant and Donegal. The launch provides access to Jacobs Creek, a waterway flowing through the Appalachian Mountains region.
**Facilities & Recreation**
Chestnut Ridge Park is a multi-purpose flood control dam facility featuring a 25-acre recreational pool that expands during high water periods. In addition to the boat launch, the park offers fishing, hunting, and other outdoor activities. Amenities appear to include parking and basic facilities, though specific details about restrooms, drinking water, and seasonal hours should be confirmed before your visit.
**Paddling Considerations**
Jacobs Creek and the Acme Dam pool offer opportunities for recreational boating and paddling. Water levels fluctuate seasonally and can vary significantly during flood control operations. Paddlers should check current conditions and be aware of any boating regulations or permits that may apply. Contact the park directly for real-time information on water conditions, facility hours, and any specific rules before launching.
