2024 marks 50 years of Baltimore District's Raystown Dam. Hear from Allen, a USACE park ranger at Raystown, about the milestone event. In 1974, then-Vice President Gerald Ford — the only president to ever work as a park ranger — dedicated the new dam. Raystown Lake is also the largest lake located entirely in Pennsylvania and draws over one million annual visitors. Since its construction, the dam has prevented over $314 million in estimated flood damages. (U.S. Army video by David Adams)
