August 23, 2021 – City of Midland Parks and Recreation will briefly close Kiwassee Lake in Stratford Woods Park on Monday, August 23 to treat the lake for algae and aquatic weeds.
If uncontrolled, algal blooms can lead to fish die-off, impact water quality, and even make people and animals sick if they ingest or touch affected water.
For safety reasons, people and animals should avoid all water contact (swimming, fishing, etc.) for 24 hours while the treatment runs its course. The beach will reopen on Tuesday, August 24.
For questions and further information, contact the Parks and Recreation Office at 989-837-6930 or email recreation@midland-mi.org.
