How clean is False River?

I know this is a bit of an odd question, but what are the board’s thoughts on how clean the water is in False River? As in would you recommend swimming in it often, eating fish caught in it, etc.

It might not be the cleanest body of water but I'm sure you have plenty of daily activities that could result in an easier way to get sick or die

It’s been called “Lake Poopoo” for years. Lol

It is not on DEQ's list of impaired waterways for fishing consumption and swimming advisories.

I’ve swam in it a bunch of times. Gotta strange color and smell but none of us ever grew an extra toe or had one dissolve, if that’s what you’re asking.

Ate many fish from it and I don't have a third arm.

It has gotten way better since the requirement of MODAD units. Up until the 90’s, most houses had a septic tank or nothing at all and ran the discharge into the lake.
I grew up 15 mins from false river and have fished it hundreds of times. I’ve swam in false river 3 times my entire life and two of those three I got a virus from ecoli.

All the rain in the last couple of yrs should've flushed it out somewhat.

I’ve swam in those waters my entire life...had mud fights in the shallows by the banks many times, learned to waterski on those waters even, fished it and ate fish from it. Never had an issue much less ecoli

On the other hand, many of the bayous on the northshore of Lake Pont. are at advisory levels on fecal coliform week after week, year after year.
Spent many days and nights in false river, never any health issues I'm aware of.

With as many people as FR has during the summer months, I’d think if it was unsafe, you’d have heard about it. Place is a zoo most summer weekends and holidays.
