interesting  read  there   but I  do  want to offer a  bit  of information on  Lake Neahtahwanta in fulton ....  there  was  been no  blue  alga bloom reported  this  year   kayaking and  fishing   is  still  very popular   the  local dredging  is  still going on  (interesting to  watch )  it's  moved  ovet  into the  granby  section now   the camp ground  was open  along  with the  nature trail......  the  improvements  may  be  slow  coming but they are  happening there is  no health advisory on this  lake

Fingerlakes have been ruined by industry and agriculture. The canal brought invasive species. Milfoil, carp, etc. Every square foot of shoreline is privately owned. The farms and fertilizer run off added fuel to the fire. Now we have these horrible algae blooms. It's an absolute shame. Those lakes were once pristine- check out Canadice and Hemlock lakes to see what it once was like... Glad the Adirondacks have been preserved for the most part.

maybe  neil  but  if  not  for  that canal  we  would  not have  had  the   business and prosperity this  state  and  the  finger lakes  area  has  had ..... we  would have  never had the  travel    and  as far as  farms  go  without farms   America  wouldn't  be the  mighty nation she is  and  we would  starve ......  yup  little  algae  ain't  so bad
