⚠️CAUTION⚠️ Blue Green Algae Bloom at County Hwy K Marsh boat launch!

We have a confirmed blue-green algae bloom in the County Hwy K boat launch that is positive for Anatoxin-a.

The Green Lake Association will continue to monitor the bloom. Please check back for updates!

Blue-green algae blooms are toxic to human and pet health. The toxins produced during a bloom can cause severe illness if ingested or contacted. Use caution around the water in the area of the advisory or if, at any time, you see the water showing the blue-green color characteristic of an algal bloom and the appearance of pea soup.

Algae conditions can change quickly with shifts in wind and temperature. Always use your best judgement and look for visual signs before entering the water. Watch for signs like:

-Water that looks like green paint or pea soup
-Discolored streaks or surface scum
-An unusual or foul smell
