Clinton Lake Algae Warning Active | Lawrence News

Clinton Lake is now under a blue-green algae warning — toxic blooms are either present or expected. Once on a watch list since June, the situation has escalated. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment monitors lakes from April to October, and these algae can cause rashes, vomiting, and headaches in humans and pets. Look for foam or scum in odd colors — stay away, keep dogs off the shore, and avoid inhaling water spray. Don’t let animals or livestock drink it, and never drink lake water yourself. Fish are still safe to eat if cleaned properly, but avoid direct contact with the water. If you get it on your skin, wash off immediately with clean water.
