The lake is waste water from the Air Force base. It may not kill your pets but It can’t be good for them.

I can't imagine so, no. From an article in AirForce Times: "Fed by treated wastewater from the air base, the lake already is off limits to swimming. If people come in contact with the water or foam near the shoreline, they should rinse off. Health officials also warned pet owners to avoid letting their animals drink or come into contact with the water or foam."

We were warned by a ranger not to swim in the water let alone drink it. No way Jose.

No. It is contaminated with sewage, as well as other runoff and disposables from the local military base.

There are signs throughout the property stating to not drink or swim in the water. I probably would not let my pets play in it if I had them.

No, it is waste water from the air force base from my understanding. The water is toxic

This is a wastewater evaporation pond. They recommend to not come in contact with the water. This is a beautiful place to stay but we stayed away from the water as sometimes you can see a nasty build up when the wind blows your way and also even smell it on occasion. Hope this helps.
