The Kansas Department of Health & Environment has put Milford Lake under a blue green algae warning.

All three zones of the reservoir are under a warning level but only the north end from the Madison Creek Point to the Wakefield Causeway is closed. The remainder of the lake, from the Madison Creek Point south to the Dam is open, meaning much of the lake is still open for boating and fishing.

Due to the warning levels no direct water contact such as swimming, jet skiing, and tubing will be allowed on the lake.
