A blue flag indicates safe boating conditions.     

     

A yellow flag indicates inconclusive data to predict possible health risks.




A red flag indicates likely health risks.


Avoid areas where red flags are posted or make sure you wash after boating nearby.  Flag colors are based on bacteria levels and blue-green algae counts.  Today's flag colors are a conservative estimate of water quality conditions.  Actual water quality may vary from predictions.
