Lake Darling is a popular destination for swimmers in the area, and Park Ranger Zach Haworth says the swimming conditions in the lake are very good right now. Lake Darling is one of 39 beaches around the state that is tested on a weekly basis starting with Memorial Day. Haworth said there haven’t been any tests to indicate high levels of bacteria that would prompt them to place an advisory. Haworth also reminds people that pets are not allowed in or around the water at the Lake Darling beach for health reasons. The beach is open daily from sunrise to sunset.
