ALGAE IN LAKES.....THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!!

From Algonquin Park home page....

Now Ryan Lake too!!!   (didn't know this lake was closed for camping last year)

Dickson Lake, Hardy Bay on Lake Lavieille, and Ryan Lake remain closed to overnight camping until further notice. At this time, the canoe route remains open for travel.Dickson Lake and the south end of Lake Lavieille were closed to camping in 2015 and 2016 due to the presence of blue-green algae (see "Related Information" below). Evidence of algae was also discovered on Ryan Lake in 2016 resulting in its closure to camping. Until water samples can be taken after the ice is out [in 2017], these campsites will remain closed for public safety reasons. Some forms of algae can pose health risks to both pets and humans.

CAMPING IS WHEN YOU SPEND A LOT OF MONEY TO LIVE LIKE A HOMELESS PERSON!

Ryan was closed for at least part of 2015 as well, at least according to the sign I ran into on my ice-out trip last year.
