Big Soda Lake reopens to swimmers and paddleboarders after algae treatment
Swimmers and paddleboarders can once again cool off at Big Soda Lake in Lakewood. The City of Lakewood reopened the lake on Wednesday.
Harmful levels of blue-green algae were found in the lake in late July, prompting the closure.
Following algae treatment and multiple water quality tests, Big Soda Lake has reopened to water contact including swimming and paddleboarding.
