NOTICE ⚠️
Bacteria levels presently exceed criteria standards for Escherichia coli (E.coli) under the Bishop Paiute Tribe’s Water Quality Standards (126 MPN) for recreational use of this site on the South Fork Bishop Creek.
Because of the increased risk of contracting an illness, the Environmental Management Office (EMO) of the Bishop Paiute Tribe encourages to take caution while swimming (e.g. ingesting water) from the stream until further notice. This is a temporary condition. Thank you for your cooperation.
Bacterial levels are analyzed weekly during the swimming season. Please contact the Water Quality Coordinator,
Brianda Hernandez, at 760-873-3584 ext. 2120
