Toxic algae in Volusia County lakes

22 lakes and waterways in Volusia County have harmful algal bloom reports in Florida's official data. The most recent entry is for Lake George: Florida's most recent sample from Lake George, on 17 December 2025 at Lake George - Center (LEO), found no visible bloom and no microcystin toxin was detected. Lake George and Lake Monroe have had blooms in three or more years.

Other waterbodies with a report

These have one or two reports in a single year, which isn't enough history for a page of their own yet.
