HABs Threaten North Jersey Lakes | Newark News

Harmful algal blooms are hitting North Jersey lakes — Budd Lake, Lake Musconetcong, Greenwood Lake, Haledon Reservoir, and Overpeck Park all have orange-level advisories, meaning no swimming, fishing, or drinking the water. Pets and livestock must stay away too. While boating’s still okay, these blooms pose real health risks, especially at popular spots like Greenwood Lake and Lake Musconetcong. Even though Lake Hopatcong remains safe, this outbreak shows how widespread the problem is — and you should always check the DEP’s online updates before heading out.
