County of Monterey Parks Received Great News Concerning the Lake San Antonio Algae Bloom!

 

The County of Monterey Public Works, Facilities and Parks is changing warning signs at Lake San Antonio from “DANGER” to “CAUTION” regarding blue-green algae in lake waters. 



Staff collected water samples from Lake San Antonio North and South Shores on July 27, 2023. On August 3, lab results were received that showed a significant decrease in toxicity.  Visible signs of algae have decreased, and the Regional Water Quality Control Board advised a downgrade of the warning level from “Danger” to a less restrictive “Caution”.  Visitors to Lake San Antonio should abide by the recommendations on the enclosed sign. 



Both Shores have immediate availability for camping and day use. Lake San Antonio South Shore Launch Ramps are currently open 7 days per week from 6am – 8pm, and North Shore Launch Ramp is open 6am – 8pm Thursday – Monday.  First come first served camping availability remains extensive on both shores.  Now is the perfect time to take advantage of reduced visitation.  Grab your camping gear and come visit Lake San Antonio now.
