diverson52 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I just accepted a job in the Pittsburgh area, so my family and I will be moving out there over the next couple of months. I have a young family (two girls 2 and 4), and would like to find a lake that would be good for the family and give me a chance to run the course. Anyone know of anything in and around the Pittsburgh area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfennell Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 It depends on where you are living, I was looking at taking a job there and I saw that there are a few lakes down south of the city, but only one of them is a "tournament" friendly lake if I recall. I can't figure out how to find my old posts, but I already made a thread like this before that might help you out. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KM Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 There is a slalom course on the Allegheny River behind Nine Mile Island. The name of the ski club is called Golden Triangle Water Ski Club. There are also a number of private tournament ski lakes in PA and OH within about a 2 hour drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller igkya Posted April 8, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 8, 2012 I lived in the Pittsburgh area all my life until 2 yrs ago. There's 3-4 private sites and used to be 4-5 sites on public water. OH has many more private sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller lpskier Posted April 9, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 9, 2012 Dave's Pond in Eire Pa. is one of the nicest ski lakes in the East. It would be a weekend site for you, but well the trip. Most of the club members are from Pburgh. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nate93 Posted April 9, 2012 Members Share Posted April 9, 2012 If you are looking for a place to move and can be an hour or so north check out Lake Latonka. Just off of I-79. Shoot me an email if you have questions. Nate Stein Nate93@msn.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeOneSkier Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I lived there for a few years, actually just north of The Pitt in Cranberry Twp. Just across the 80/OH boarder, in Lima maybe(?), there is a private place. Good people, but can't remember the owners name. If I find it I'll PM ya.

GAJ0004 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I ski on Lake Latonka. I am hoping the get the course put back in before the end of April. Waiting for the lake to fill up (4 inches to go). Look me up.. garyjanzig@windstream.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAJ0004 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 There is also Big Rock Pond in Perryopolis which is south of Pittsburgh. I have never been there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller igkya Posted April 10, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 10, 2012 Big Rock is a nice, but short lake. The owner and other skiers are very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
