A severe aquatic plant and algae bloom has left Lake Winnepesaukah’s fish in some “unsightly” water conditions, according to a statement released from the park.

The health of the fish isn’t at stake, though. They’re “happily enjoying their popcorn.”

The park is taking steps to restore the water with the assistance of a professional fisheries consultant to ensure the fish’s health and the aquatic ecosystem.

The release also stated that the issue will be resolved slowly, “utilizing all tools available, including natural biological controls.”

The water park has not been affected.
