Water Quality Listing for Red Rocks Beach

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. After the beach closes for the season the water quality department will take samples just once a week. Anytime the sample comes back higher than 77, the Swimming Area will be closed as it is a potential health risk.  Counts that cause us to close the beach will have a CLOSED in the Results column. 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.
