## Resource

Nebraska’s health department has issued a swim ban for three lakes — Maple Creek, Maskenthine, and Rockford — due to dangerous blue-green algae blooms producing toxic microcystin. While camping and picnicking are still okay, avoid swimming or letting pets drink or play in the water. Weekly testing of 57 lakes continues through mid-September to track algae levels and keep the public safe. Stay alert and enjoy the outdoors responsibly.
