Swimming off limits at local park because of E Coli

Jun 13, 2025 | 4:14 PM

An advisor because of health concerns means a local swimming spot is off limits.

At the recommendation of Interior Health, the Regional District declared a swimming advisory for Reiswig Regional Park, which is on the shores of Wood Lake in Lake Country.

Elevated E Coli levels means if the water is ingested swimmers may develop gastrointestinal illness, skin rashes and/or eye, ear and throat symptoms.

Other water-related activities should also also be avoided until further notice.
