Officials have struggled to get a handle on the toxins that have plagued the lake at Grand Lake St. Marys State Park. People have been advised against swimming and wading, water should not be swallowed, and surface scum should be avoided, according to the Ohio departments of Environmental Protection, Natural Resources, and Health.
The following advisory is posted on the Grand Lake St Marys website:
