Freeland County Park Beach CLOSED to Swimming in Island County

Island County, WA- On July 21, 2016, Island County Public Health issued a “No Contact” health advisory for Freeland County Park beach.

The closure was issued due to high fecal bacteria levels in the water. The public is advised to avoid any contact with the water until further notice. 

Contact with fecal contaminated waters can result in gastroenteritis, skin rashes, upper respiratory infections, and other illnesses. Children and the elderly may be more vulnerable to waterborne illnesses.
