Eagle Nest Lake State Park

Announcements

NOTICE : Blue Green Algae is located at Eagle Nest Lake State Park. Blue-green algae can form anytime, particularly in the summer in the presence of warm, shallow nutrient-rich water that receives a lot of sunlight. Most blue-green algae are safe; however, people should be aware that toxic conditions can exist and should limit their contact with blue-green algae as much as possible. Seek medical attention immediately if you think you, your child, or your pet might have been exposed. To guard against exposers, consider the following precautions: • When boating, water skinning, or swimming, don’t encounter water that is discolored or where excessive foam, scum, or mats of algae on the water is visible. • Shower or rinse off with clean water after swimming and prior to food preparation and eating. • Rinse pets off with clearwater instead of allowing pets to clean themselves. • Bring clean water for pets and keep them away from the lake. See attached flyers.
