GREEN LAKE, Wis. (WBAY) - The Green Lake Association announced Friday that it identified a harmful blue-green algae bloom in the water at Hattie Sherwood Beach.

The Green Lake County Public Health Department issued a beach closure until further notice.

The association says it’s actively monitoring the situation and staying in communication with the health department.

The beach will reopen once officials confirm the algal bloom is no longer present.
