Swim Beach Closure

HAVANA, Ark. – The Corps of Engineers, Nimrod-Blue Mountain Project Office has closed Waveland swim beach on Blue Mountain Lake until further notice.  The temporary closure is the result of higher than acceptable E. coli levels that were found during routine testing conducted by the Arkansas Department of Health. 

The Corps has posted signs indicating high bacteria levels at this location. Swimming is not recommended in areas with high bacteria levels. Once bacteria levels are within the acceptable range the swim beach will reopen.
