Wake Forest Reservoir boat access closed due to algae bloom

The Town of Wake Forest has closed the boat access area at the Wake Forest Reservoir due to the presence of blue/green algae bloom.

Caused by the lack of rain in our area over the past several weeks, these blooms may produce toxins that can make people and pets sick.

Visitors to the reservoir are urged to avoid contact with the water and any areas of algae concentration, even on shore.
