Swinging Bridge Reservoir To Reopen This Weekend

It's taken more than two years, but starting Saturday people will once again be allowed to boat and swim in the Swinging Bridge Reservoir in Mongaup Valley. The announcement comes from Alliance Energy, which bought the reservoir, dam and its hydroelectric plant in May from Mirant. The nine-mile-long reservoir is the largest lake in Sullivan County, aside from the New York City reservoirs, and it's one of two motorboat lakes in the county.
