It is gross and worse this year than others but seems to be normal,algae bloom that occurs every spring and fall. The city does however need to look into possible dredging the lake on the northern end it is consistently getting shallower and shallower and the fish seem like o be less than previous years

Turtle seems to be affected but lake.

We walked the entire Lake Lynn pathway yesterday, my poor daughter vomited during one stretch. It honestly smelled like sewage. I could not even imagine living near that area. You need to send a hazmat team in there to pump all that mess up.

Please attend to this immediately. Thanks.

Smell is awful and makes using the trail unpleasant. We have been driving to another trail to avoid the smell of this one. Please see if anything can be done to address the issue.

Nothing was done. How can you close the issue with no follow up?

Thank you for contacting the City of Raleigh. Your service request ID is #370834. We will be posting additional updates about your request as we have them.

I'm in agreement with all comments. Please do something!

I hope something can be done about Lake Lynn, it's pretty disgusting. A few weeks ago there was a bright green color on the lake that looked like algae. The next thing that happened was that an ugly, smelly, bubbly mold began to form on the edges all around the lake. The fowl smelling stench makes it difficult to walk around the lake without wanting to vomit (sorry). Please do something if you can.

Please look into this issue. Lake Lynn has some beautiful wildlife species including egrets and blue herons. This needs attention!

its natural... we dont want to interfere with nature

Contact your local government this is not a SCF issue. The lake collects runoff from local area and is important for drainage.

Stormwater Management has determined this is a naturally occurring algae bloom and not a sewer leak. The only remedy for the appearance and odor is time. Also it's important to note the lake is owned by Wake County and the City has no jurisdiction over the lake; the City does maintain the trail around the lake and the adjacent park property.

Thanks for fixing this issue!
