Users of Hagg Lake should take precautions to prevent getting and spreading illness while recreating.

• Don’t poop in the water. 
• Don’t swallow the water. Keep your mouth closed to avoid getting water in your mouth at all. 
• Take kids on bathroom breaks and check diapers every hour. Change diapers away from the water’s edge to keep germs from getting in the water. Wash your hands after. 

• Wash your hands before eating, after using the bathroom or after changing a diaper. 

• Shower before and after swimming. 
• Contact Public Health if you think you became ill from recreating at Hagg Lake Park. Call 503-846-3594 to report your illness so they can investigate.
