Ryan Lake closed - algae [edit: Lavielle main lake too]

Another lake is closed to camping for the rest of the year due to a blue-green algae bloom - Ryan.

The algae discovered in Ryan Lake are a different form of blue-green algae than what has been affecting Dickson Lakeand Lake Lavieille. It is more subtle to detect and will not dramatically change the appearance of the water colour.

With this announcement, I believe algae takes the lead over bears for 2015 interior campsite closure causes, with eagles in third.

Oh and while we're on the subject of algae blooms, it appears that now all of Lavielle is closed to camping for that reason, not just Hardy Bay as previously.
