Clark County Public Health has lifted its toxic algal bloom advisory at Lacamas Lake in Camas.
Public Health said Friday that, “while there is still a bloom at the Heritage Park boat launch, water quality has improved over the last two weeks and toxin levels are no longer elevated.”
County workers will remove warning signs posted at the lake.
Public Health warned that toxic algal blooms could return if conditions at the lake change and encouraged people recreating in or near the lake to keep an eye out for floating greenish scum and to avoid contact with water in areas where algal blooms may be present.
“Pets should not drink or have contact with water in areas of floating scum,” Public Health added.
The county has finished its routine monitoring of local lakes and swimming beaches and will begin to monitor Lacamas Lake and other bodies of water again in the spring of 2025.
