Two swimming beaches at Perry Lake have been closed due to concerns about harmful algae in the water. Testing by the Corps indicated harmful algae bloom levels. Toxic blue-green algae were found in "high levels". Boating and fishing "may be safe" but direct contact with the lake water should be avoided.
We had a sail boat at the Perry Yacht Club for over ten years so we can imagine what a bummer the findings are...especially on hot summer evenings where raft up swimming parties are the mode.

That could never happen here, thank goodness.
