Vancouver Lake Regional Park remains open. Signs will be updated as conditions change. Public Health will continue to monitor local lakes with algal blooms and take weekly water samples while blooms are present to test toxin levels. The toxins can be fatal to pets that drink the water. If water with cyanotoxins is accidentally swallowed, symptoms can include abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, numbness of the lips, tingling in fingers and toes, and dizziness. Skin contact can lead to rash, itching, blisters and eye irritation. Inhaled bacteria or toxins can cause wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath. Harmful algal blooms can pose a significant health risk if the cyanobacteria or toxins are ingested, inhaled or contact skin. People should avoid areas of scum when using motorized boats, paddle boarding, kayaking or canoeing in Lacamas and Round lakes. At those lakes, Public Health advises against swimming, water skiing and any water contact for animals. The warning advisories at Lacamas and Round lakes in Camas remain in place. Pets should not have any contact with the water. Public Health is advising against all recreating in Vancouver Lake, including swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, using motorized boats, water skiing and fishing. Danger signs are being posted at the public access points to the lake.
