I know how bad blue algae is and I try to avoid it. But this year a lot of lakes around here have it pretty bad. Is there any harm with canoeing through it provided you dont tip over in it?
Friday morning paddle, on the Sassafras River, Maryland, after the big rain, we had an algae bloom. I would be grateful on any intel on what species, toxicity, etc., it might be.
Arrrrg, I know it is futile to resist the borg, but I stubbornly continue to avoid facebook. (Missed Conk's last several trip reports because of it, sadly). So, I don't think of facebook as an information resource. I had looked at the shorerivers.org website, but it was not much help.
Facebook let me see the Riverkeeper site without having to log in, and the page had good information and links, thanks,
