That Jacobs Creek Watershed Association was first formed in the late 1960’s to address severe flooding issues in the Scottdale area? Because of JCWA’s efforts, three dams were created to prevent flooding (including the Acme Dam pictured on the right). Read about JCWA’s history and our other important projects by clicking on the buttons above. JCWA invites you to join us at our events and become involved in our projects. But most importantly, JCWA hopes you will enjoy hiking, biking, picnicking, fishing, birding and boating in the Jacobs Creek Watershed.
