Morgantown Lock and Dam
Morgantown Lock and Dam is a navigational lock and a gated dam on the Monongahela River at Morgantown, West Virginia. It is part of a series of dams that canalizes the Monongahela to a depth of at least for its entire length from Fairmont, West Virginia to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Pittsburgh District.
Morgantown has a single lock chamber located on the left-descending river bank. The dam's upper pool extends upstream to Hildebrand Lock and Dam, with its downstream pool being formed by Point Marion Lock and Dam.
