The Corps of Engineers released a statement on Friday afternoon about blue green algae at Milford Lake.

Due to visual observations of BG algae, KDHE has recommended Zone B and Zone C be placed in a “Watch” status until lake sampling is performed.  Zone A is clear.

Rangers will be posting signage at the boat ramps Friday evening.

Lake sampling will occur on Monday June 19th with results revealed on Thursday June 22nd.

“Watch” status
Use caution when contacting lake water and wash with clean water afterward.
Avoid areas of algae accumulation
Don’t let people/pets eat dried algae or drink untreated lake water.

Zones B and C are the middle and north segments of Milford Lake.
