Swimming banned at Lake Lanier park due to E. coli stat : forsythnews

HALL COUNTY — People should avoid swimming at Don Carter State Park because of high bacteria levels in Lake Lanier, Georgia state park officials warned this week. All swimming beaches in Georgia state parks are tested before heavy summer activity begins around Memorial Day, according to Georgia State Parks spokeswoman Kim Hatcher. Don Carter State Park, located on North Browning Bridge Road in Gainesville, came back with unacceptably high levels of E. coli. Hatcher said on Wednesday that it was the first time swimming had been closed at Don Carter State Park. The park and beach haven't been closed, but officials are warning against swimming and wading in the lake at that beach.
