The lake remains closed due to the ongoing algal bloom. Following the recommendations from the Missouri Conservation Department (MDC), we are working to treat the lake by adding a blue dye. This helps reduce sunlight penetration, which can slow algal growth, especially with the anticipated heat next week. We appreciate your patience as we take these steps to protect the lake and ensure everyone's safety.
