Toxic blue-green algae warning at two Camas lakes

Having already issued a blue-green algae advisory for Round Lake in Camas earlier in the week, the Clark County Public Health Department has now added a second Camas lake to the warning.

The public should avoid direct contact with water at both Round and Lacamas lakes during the cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, bloom. According to the health department, the algae “produce toxins that can be harmful to people and deadly for small pets that drink the water.”
