Wallace Pond Re-Opens

The lake at South County Park, also known as Wallace Pond, has been re-opened to all recreational use, including swimming and fishing. The pond closed in July due to high levels of toxic algae in the water. Sue Kennedy, Lewis County Environmental Health Specialist, announced the re-opening October 30, 2009. County residents are encouraged to enjoy using the pond again, and may eat the fish that they catch if desired.
