The string of all-clears for swimming and water-related activities at all 17 of the Missouri state park public beaches comes to an end with the Department of Natural Resources issuing an advisory for St. Joe State Park in Park Hills.
The advisory against water-related activities at the park was issued due to concerns over E.coli levels when sampling was taken earlier this week.
Otherwise, there are no concerns across the rest of the state which includes the two public beaches at Lake of the Ozarks State Park in Osage Beach and Kaiser, and at the day-use beach in Harry S. Truman State Park in Warsaw.
