Raystown Lake hosts 5th annual Chalk the Walk

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Raystown Lake hosted the 5th annual “Chalk the Walk” art contest at Seven Points Beach on Saturday, Aug. 6, 2016. The event was free and open to public in an effort to communicate important messages regarding water safety and environmental stewardship in a fun, engaging way.

Participants were divided into four age groups, each one adding "pizazz" to one of Raystown Lake’s busiest walkways during a near-capacity summer weekend. Some of this year’s more popular themes encouraged life jacket usage, litter prevention, and a general respect for the environment and local waterways.
