Resting Waters Gsc, also known as Resting Waters Girl Scout Camp, is a private recreational facility located in Wilcox, Pennsylvania, along the Rocky Run river. The camp, designed by USDA NRCS, features an earth dam with a height of 14 feet and a length of 800 feet, completed in 1977. With a storage capacity of 72 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 120 cubic feet per second, the dam serves primarily for fish and wildlife pond purposes, as well as recreation.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Resting Waters Gsc has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk level, with no available condition assessment. The uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates contribute to the dam's risk profile, although no emergency action plan or inundation maps are currently prepared. Despite these challenges, the camp offers a serene natural setting for outdoor activities and serves as a valuable resource for the local community and visitors alike. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the unique features and risk factors of Resting Waters Gsc present an intriguing case study in dam management and recreational land use in Pennsylvania.
