THE BEACH:
The Beach will be open and lifeguarded from June 26 through August 15, 2009. Lifeguards are on duty Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 12:00-6:00pm. The beach includes a designated swimming area, restrooms and changing areas. The beach is open to the general public. A daily or season park pass is needed for parking.

Water Quality:
Red Rocks Park swimming area is tested every Monday and Wednesday during the season (and whenever deemed necessary) to help ensure safe swimming conditions to the public. Anytime the sample comes back higher than 77, the water will be closed as it is a potential health risk. Proper signage will be posted and  Red Rocks Park Staff will inform patrons of water conditions upon entry to the park.

The State of Vermont has adopted water quality standards that indicate that an acceptable amount of E. Coli contamination should not exceed 77 organisms per 100 milliliters of water in a single sample.
