• Lake Pleasant Water Quality in 2016

  In 2016 we completed our third annual water quality testing of Lake Pleasant through the DEC Citizens Statewide Lake Assessment Program (CSLAP). The data show that Lake Pleasant is a healthy lake, with low levels of nutrients that produce harmful algae, good water clarity, neutral acidity, and no other red flags we should be concerned with.
