Swimming Restriction Lifted At Presque Isle Beach

ERIE, Pa. (KDKA) -- A swimming restriction has been lifted at a local state park.

The Presque Isle State Park operations manager announced Tuesday that the swimming restriction posted Monday for Beach 8 was lifted at 12:42 p.m.

The beach originally closed Monday because of a higher-than-normal E. Coli count. The count was equal to or above the levels set by the Erie County Department of Health.

The Park said swimming waters are tested twice a week.
