Due to "harmful algae conditions," the beach is closed until " acceptable water sample test results are received," park management said on Facebook.
Boating and fishing are still permitted, but parkgoers should take caution to avoid direct contact with the water.
Officials say to:
- Wash hands after coming into contact with the lake water
- Shower and bathe pets immediately after "water-based recreation activities"
- Avoid swallowing the water
- Avoid contact with any water that has foam, discoloration, or scum
- Adhere to any waterbody advisories or closures
