Check it out blue green algae again this year. No more jet skiing there if you value your liver.

that sucks, didn't Geist have that a year or two ago?

Is that caused by fertilizer run off?

Geist has this problem every year. The problem is people over fertilize there lawns trying to make them look like golf course grass. Couple that with all the farm field fertilizer runoff, and you are begging for problems. I was in Geist 2 years ago the day before they put in the swimming ban. My eyes burned and my skin was itchy for a couple of hours after I got out. Very unpleasant, I wouldn't swim in it again. To top it all off the toxins from it can ruin your liver. We had some blue green in the river last summer at the landings, the water was a crazy blue color.
