The three lakes in Plymouth (Woodward, Amherst and Echo) are very muddy and there is a lot of debris. The lakes need to cleanse themselves and all swimming areas need to be checked once the water clarity improves. Swimming in any of the lakes is strongly discouraged until water clarity improves and water testing for bacteria levels is done.
