A few local beaches are not safe for swimming because of high bacteria levels in the water.
Ashfield Township Park Beach, Goderich Main Beach, and Bloom Resort’s beach in Stratford are all affected. Health officials test the water regularly, and when bacteria levels are too high, swimming can be unsafe, especially for children or people with health problems.
If you’re heading to the beach, it’s a good idea to check the latest water quality reports before going into the lake.
