HIgh Algae Levels





This really sucks b/c this is my family's favorite lake to go to!

Due to high algae levels, health officials have issued a health advisory for Dorena Lake. Fortunately, the blooms of toxic algae is concentrated at the southernmost end, where Row River feeds into the lake.
Warnings were posted on the restroom doors, a bulletin at the concession stand and at the campsites. Officials warned that people should avoid swallowing or inhaling the water droplets and to try to avoid skin contact with the water. The lake will not be closed during this time.
