Default Re: Spruce Run Closed??

Harmful algae bloom,.....avoid contact with the water, therefore swimming area is closed. Boat ramp / cartop kayak launch open to anglers.

I asked them why they closed the access areas at the mouth of Spruce Run Creek & Black Brook Cove. Their answer: "Because people, illegally, swim there."

I told them that illegal swimming at those 2 areas was a Parks & Forest's enforcement issue. That those 2 areas should still be open to anglers, as WMA lakes that have suffered the same harmful algae in the past, have remained open to fishing.

I imagine, less headache for them, if they just close those 2 areas off to all.
