Description Long Lake is located in Kitsap County. As a highly eutrophic lake, it has been plagued with frequent toxic algae blooms, and inundated with dense noxious weeds, making beneficial uses such as swimming, fishing, and boating almost impossible to enjoy. In 2005, with the help of Senator Bob Oke, Kitsap County received special appropriations funding totaling $950,000 to develop and implement a comprehensive plan for Long Lake. The plan addresses water quality impairments, provides public education and helps to promote individual responsibility for phosphorus source control throughout the watershed.
