KNOXVILLE, Iowa — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the Rock Island District said Friday that it does not recommend swimming at the North Overlook and Whitebreast beaches at Lake Red Rock because of elevated bacteria levels.
The beaches will have "swimming not recommended" signs until further testing indicates that those bacteria counts have declined.
The beaches, which are near Pella, are tested weekly through a contract with Iowa State University.
