Nasty Algae Crap

This was at the marshy end of the pond. The algae soup was not as bad in the center of the lake, but it still had a nasty green sheen to the whole lake. This is in the middle of Catskill Park, there are no farms or houses upstream, so I'm not sure if it was just the weather or poor practices from campers.
