There are 5 lakes in Ohio that have a blue/green algae that is supposed to be toxic. Not sure what it will do to the fish but is not good for humans. Still trying to find more info on this, the lakes are not in my area that I frequent but sure would like to know the source of the algae. This sure put a damper on a hot boating season.
This brief was on channel 4 wcmh web page:
Five Ohio state park lakes are tainted with toxic, blue-green algae meaning swimmers and boaters should avoid getting in the water.
The Ohio Department Natural Resources has issued an new advisory for Lake Hope in Vinton County and the lake at Dillon State Park in Muskingum County
There's is also a warning for Cutler Lake at Blue Rock State Park in Muskingum County.
Signs there are posted advising visitors not to touch the water or go boating.
Other advisories and warnings have been in effect at the lake in Burr Oak State Park in southeast Ohio, and at western Ohio's Grand Lake St. Marys.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources wants everyone to know that while these advisories or warnings are posted, that does not mean the state park is closed.
