A sudden burst of rain stalled over Trumbull County over the weekend, dropping more than two inches in less than 24 hours, raising the water levels at Mosquito Creek Lake to a historic high on April 27, 2025. The storm pushed the reservoir to reach 902.55 feet in elevation, making it the fourth highest pool on record since the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built the dam to form the lake in 1944. Since its construction, Mosquito Creek Lake has prevented more than $915 million in flood damages. The lake can store runoff equivalent to 29 inches of rainfall across its 97-square-mile drainage area. It also provides water supply for municipalities, supports aquatic ecosystems, and enhances recreation for the region.
