Almost a week ago, a popular York County swimming spot was closed indefinitely due to harmful algae conditions.
According to Gifford Pinchot State Park, the DCNR has closed the Quaker Race Beach to swimming effective Thursday, July 4 because of algae conditions. The beach will remain closed to swimming as a precaution until acceptable water sample test results are gathered, according to the park.
Michael Plish, assistant park manager of Gifford Pinchot State Park told us, "The real problem with these harmful algae blooms is that the cyanobacteria produce toxins, and those toxins can be dangerous to people and animals."
