🚨LLA Alert! 🚨Some lake goers have reported a suspected algae bloom on Lake Lanier in a single cove in Cumming on the Six Mile Embayment. 🦠

AVOID swimming if you notice ~
💧 Discolored water
💧 Unusual smell or odor
💧 Green or blue scum

Once an algal bloom appears, there is little that can be done until it naturally goes away, but it’s important to document the occurrence. These blooms can make people and pets sick through skin contact, ingestion, or inhalation.

If you suspect a harmful algae bloom (HAB), you can report it to LLA by visiting lakelanier.org or contacting the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. ⬅️ ... See MoreSee Less

Please join us in wishing Clyde Morris a very happy birthday! 🎉

Clyde is a native of Baltimore and an alumnus of the University of Virginia. He moved to the Atlanta area in 1975 to attend law school at Emory and never left. His introduction to the Lake started with a visit to Lake Lanier Islands during law school and continued when he taught himself to roll a whitewater kayak and brought his family to visit years later.

He bought a weekender on the lake in 2001 and moved up full time in 2007. His involvement with LLA began when he noticed an LLA sticker on the door of his newly-purchased lake home, which prompted him to contact Val Perry, LLA’s president at the time, to volunteer. He’s been working with the board ever since and represented LLA for many years in the “Water Wars” with Florida and Alabama. His work in those cases brought widespread recognition of Lake Lanier’s vital role and garnered LLA visibility for its role in helping to keep the lake full, clean, and safe.

Happy Birthday, Clyde! 🥳 ... See MoreSee Less
