Keuka Lake HABs Monitoring Update
08/04/2025 (created)
There were 10 reports of HABs on Keuka Lake over the last week. These reports indicated shoreline blooms across the northern part of the east arm and down along the west side of the arm. The intense heat along with the still air and warm water temperatures were the trigger for the cyanobacteria blooms. Fortunately these blooms dispersed within a short period of time and swimming and other water activities were able to resume. With the hot weather and warm water please be alert to the likelihood of additional blooms. Please check back for timely updates.
