The Environment Agency is conducting tests on the water in Hemlington Lake in Middlesbrough after blue and green algae were reported.
Residents are being advised to stay out of the water as a precautionary measure while test results come back.
High levels of the algae could make the water toxic to both humans and dogs, especially when ingested.
