The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has placed the Gathering Pond at Milford Lake under a blue green algae warning.

According to the Milford Lake Corps of Engineers that means water is unsafe for humans and animals, visitors should avoid all contact with the water, DO NOT let pets eat dried algae or drink contaminated water and if fish are caught, clean well with potable water and eat fillets only.

The Gathering Pond is located below the Milford Lake Dam.
