First Cyanobacteria Warnings of 2024 Issued for Lake Winnipesaukee

fatlazyless · 07-12-2024, 10:06 AM

Friday, July 12, 2024: Corcoran's Pond, Waterville Valley, a 7-acre resort pond with a town beach, swim area and swim raft and boat rental has just grown, overnight, these small white and blue speckled surface growth algae all across the 7-acres.

I normally swim a 100-yard triangle in Corcoran's Pond without placing my head or face in the water, but these made me stop and get out of the water ...... yikes! ....

Good-bye Corcoran's Pond for now ..... until the next big rain washes it out or something ...... and hello to beautiful, crystal clear Lake Winnipesaukee! ....

To be fair, these algae growth was here yesterday on Friday, and was gone today on Saturday. It rained overnight and apparently cleaned it away plus the pond's water level came back to full with water now running over the dam boards. The dam boards got pulled a couple days ago for the big rain on Wednesday night.
