UPDATE: Recent bacterial sampling at the North Overlook Beach at Lake Red Rock has shown lower bacterial counts, and swimming is now open.
Sampling at the beaches is performed weekly by the Corps of Engineers through a contract with Iowa State University.
Due to rising lake levels, the South Overlook Boat Ramp, Volksweg Trail near the Red Rock Marina, and Whitebreast Beach have been closed. Parking at the Marina Cove is very limited due to the high lake level. There is a moderate amount of floating debris in the lake – so boaters should use caution while on the water.
