Important Updates

Swimmer's Itch Info - July 12, 2026

Please be aware that cases of swimmer’s itch have been reported on Eagle Lake. Local pharmacies note that this is currently widespread across the Central Lakes area.

To help prevent parasite penetration and ensure you can still safely enjoy the lake, the following precautions are recommended: 

  • - Apply a heavy layer of sunscreen, followed by an application of baby oil or Vaseline before entering the water. 

  • - Towel dry vigorously and immediately after exiting the water.​

Together, we are the Eagle Lake Lakeshore Association (ELLA).
