Whether you're planning a day at the lake or a weekend on the river, knowing if the water is safe for swimming is an important part of any outdoor adventure. Today, that information is only a few clicks away thanks to Swim Guide, a program that has grown from a local initiative into the world's largest recreational water quality network.
The rocky shoals spider lily (Hymenocallis occidentalis) is a rare aquatic flowering plant characterized by its distinctive crown-like membrane called the "corona." The flower features six spider-leg-like extensions attached to the corona, along with six stamens. Each plant grows to about 3 feet tall and 3 feet wide in direct sunlight, with multiple blooms on a single stalk.
Native to South America, alligator weed has become a widespread invasive species along the East Coast, rapidly spreading through waterways, wetlands, and shorelines. Its aggressive growth disrupts ecosystems by outcompeting native vegetation, reducing habitat quality for wildlife, and creating challenges for recreation, water management, and local communities.
