Warning lifted at Burr Oak

Algae warning signs at Burr Oak State Park and Stonelick State Park have been removed as tests have shown the water is now safe for swimmers, the Columbus Dispatch reported Tuesday. Officials also said Cutler Lake at Blue Rock State Park and Lake LaDue are now safe for boaters, although people are still cautioned not to touch the water.
Six public lakes and two Lake Erie beaches could still pose health threats due to toxins released by blue-green algae blooms.
As expected, cooler temperatures have been causing the blooms to dwindle.
