Lake Watch regularly monitors swimming sites around the lake and in the streams and the Tallapoosa River above the lake.  

Our Swim Guide network posts bacteriological test results on the Swim Guide, a one-stop shop for swim beach water quality information.

Our Lake Watch test results are  displayed in Swim Guide as easy-to-interpret icons: GREEN for safe – go swimming, and RED for not safe – stop and consider swimming elsewhere since the water is contaminated with E. coli.
