Pike Island Locks and Dam, Lock and dam system in Ohio County, United States
Pike Island Locks and Dam features two parallel chambers, with the main lock measuring 1,200 feet long and an auxiliary lock extending 600 feet in length.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers constructed this navigation facility between 1959 and 1963, replacing two older locks from the early 1900s.
The structure represents the evolution of river engineering, demonstrating the progression from manual wooden wicket dams to modern concrete gravity dam technology.
Commercial vessels navigate through the locks daily, while fishing access remains available to visitors through the parking area at River Road in Yorkville.
The dam maintains a reservoir elevation of 644 feet above sea level, controlling water flow 84 miles downstream from Pittsburgh.
