Echo and Hidden Lakes remain closed

 Echo Lake and Hidden Lake are both CLOSED for recreational use due to high bacteria levels.

Resamplings on Thursday continued to show high levels of bacteria. 

The current conditions in both lakes make them unsuitable for recreational water activities. Signs indicating closure will remain in place at both lakes. Both lakes will remain closed until such time as it is safe to reopen.

Results from the next resampling will be available Wednesday, September 9.
