At the beginning of July, Idaho’s Department of Environmental Quality issued a no swimming warning for Sandy Point Beach, at Lucky Peak State Park, because of e.coli.
Officials claim warning signs are posted, but people who’re swimming in the contaminated water say “what signs?”: “We stopped and we were looking, we were looking for any kind of anything.”-Loretta Vincent of Boise
“We were swimming and had been swimming for quite some time before they finally came and told us.”-Claudia Craw of Meridian
