Toxic blue-green algae has been reported at a popular Lancaster County lake.
The state issued a health alert for Wagon Train Lake after samples from the lake showed Harmful Algal Blooms or toxic blue-green algae.
Signs are posted around the lake as the public is urged to use caution around and in the water. The swimming beaches at the lake will be closed and while boating and fishing are allowed, visitors should avoid full body contact.
Pet owners are being urged not to let their animals drink or be near the water. Public areas surrounding the lake can still be used for camping, picnics, and other outdoor activities.
