Swimming continues to not be recommended at Lake Red Rock’s North Overlook and Whitebreast Beaches.

Recent bacterial sampling continued to show elevated bacterial counts. Sampling at the beaches is performed weekly by the Corps of Engineers through a contract with Iowa State University, the last of which will take place this coming week. Due to the high readings, both beaches will be posted with “Swimming Not Recommended” signs until further testing indicates lower counts. Further information on the Corps of Engineers water quality monitoring procedures may be obtained at the Red Rock Project Office on T-15 south of the Red Rock Dam.
