Use the facility-specific opening time

Chelan's general park rules say 7:00 a.m. unless a facility states otherwise. The Don Morse facility page states 8:00 a.m., so that narrower time controls this listing.

What the monitoring gap means

Washington's freshwater algae site lists toxin results only for lakes it has tested, and says toxins can be detected only by laboratory analysis. This listing does not treat a lake's absence from its current list as a conclusion about present conditions.
