KAWARTHA LAKES-Swimming is not advised at Lions Park Beach on Highway 35 in Coboconk due to higher levels of bacteria according to the health unit.
From mid-June to the end of August, when water temperatures are above 15°C, Lakelands Public Health monitors water quality at 76 public beaches across our region.
While beach water quality is monitored regularly, conditions can change at any time and bacteria may be present. Always swim at your own risk.
The health unit uses a three-colour system to report beach water quality:
| Risk Level | Status | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| ???? High Risk | Beach is Closed | High bacteria levels or hazardous water conditions. DO NOT swim or enter the water. |
| ???? Moderate Risk | Swimming not Advised | Bacteria levels are elevated and may increase your risk of illness. |
| ???? Low Risk | Safe for Swimming | Water quality meets Ontario Guidelines. Swimming and wading are allowed. |
