Title: Lake Atkinson recreation update
Post by: Editor on January 19, 2015, 11:45:59 PM
Lake Atkinson re-opens to boating but closed to swimming and skiing 
Date: 16/01/2015   - Seqwater

Lake Atkinson re-opens to boating and fishing from 6am, Saturday 17 January 2015.

The latest water quality test results indicate that at this time, it is unsafe to re-open the lake to skiing and swimming activities.

We will continue to conduct water quality tests at Lake Atkinson, and will re-open the lake for skiing and swimming as soon as it is safe to do so.

Thank you for your patience during this closure and as always, please play it safe when visiting Lake Atkinson or any of our other dams, lakes and parks.

It closed the following day due to the disappearance of a lady at the lake.  I believe it remains closed while the search is carried out.

The Lake is now open, they found the lady who went missing between her caravan and the amenities block.  She turned up in Murgon.
