As a public safety measure the U.S Army Corps of Engineers at Lake O’ the Pines conducts every other week water quality monitoring at Corps operated swim beach areas.
As a rule the U.S Army Corps of Engineers has set public safety as its foremost priority and will take action to assure visitors enjoy a safe recreational experience. The public is encouraged to practice safe recreational water environments anytime they are on or near the water.
