Bam Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Thinking about taking the boat to buckeye this weekend to tube/wakeboard/ski but am aware of the algae at Brooks beach. Wondering what the rest of the lake looked like and what everyones thoughts were? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TA In Progress Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 We went boating 2 weeks ago and there were people in the swim areas in the middle of the lake and tubing, etc. I didn't notice the water looking any more funky than normal.

Rocky31186 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 We went last weekend and it was fine. Obviously dirty water. But we were in it all day to stay away from the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Never swam there but am also not sure I would. Especially if folks have to ask. Meh, I'm funny like that when it comes to funky water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Swam there last week, No issues. Plan on swimming again this week. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 If you read the stipulations on the algae problem, you'll see that it doesn't actually prohibit swimming. It suggests not swallowing it, but what lake water would you ever swallow. I've swam in it multiple weekends this year, and the swimming areas have been packed all summer.

You always ingest a little bit when you get tossed from the tube or go down hard wakeboarding etc.... I can't get in Buckeye Lake. I honestly get sick every single time I do.

schmuckingham Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I've been in it everyweekend this summer and i'm still alive. aside from that pesky third appendage...... I was just at a lake side bar for week last week and the water looked fine to me as I sweated to death in a button up and dress slacks.
