The beach at Tuscarora State Park in Barnesville was closed to swimming earlier this week due to poor water quality samples.

This marks the third time the lake has been off limits to swimmers this season.

The last time it closed was July 1, and it reopened on July 16.

The beach will remain closed until acceptable water sample results are received.

Signs noting the closure have been posted at the park’s entrance and on the beach.

Activities like camping, picnicking, hiking and fishing are proceeding as usual.
