Lake Atkinson remains closed to on-water recreation
Date: 28/11/2014 - Seqwater
As of Friday 28 November 2014, Lake Atkinson remains closed to all water-based recreation activities due to the presence of blue-green algae.
This includes activities such as swimming, water-skiing, boating, kayaking, canoeing and sailing.
Off-water recreation activitites are not affected by the closure.
Please observe any signage and follow the direction of Seqwater staff.

We will continue to perform water quality testing at the lake, and the lake will be re-opened when it is safe to do so.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
