Chautauqua Lake, once a picture of health, now battles nutrient pollution and harmful algal blooms. Decades of development and runoff have degraded its water quality. But hope remains! Collaborative efforts are tackling the issue. By reducing nutrient influx and restoring the surrounding watershed, these initiatives aim to return Chautauqua Lake to its former glory. This will ensure the lake's future as a recreational haven for generations to come.
