The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit annually monitors the recreational water quality at public beaches each year for levels of E. coli bacteria and Blue-Green Algae (cyanobacteria) from the beginning of June until the end of August. If a beach is deemed unsafe to swim, it’s due to high counts of bacteria in the water. View the current beach water quality testing results.
