LAKE GEORGE, Colo. - Eleven Mile State
Park is experiencing natural algae blooms that may be harmful to dogs and
humans as a result of a number of things including warmer temperatures,
stagnant waters and nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus coming into the
reservoir.
Due to elevated levels of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) growth, the park
is prohibiting the activities of paddleboarding, swimming and wading in the
water. Dogs are also prohibited from entering the reservoir.
Those restrictions will remain in place until tests provide acceptable
conditions.
For more information on blue-green algae, please click here, or watch this video from CPW's water quality section
that explains blue-green algae.
