Signs have been placed at both state parks to notify visitors of the closures.

DENVER — Elevated E. coli levels have forced Colorado Parks and Wildlife to close swimming areas at Chatfield State Park and Cherry Creek State Park.

“While these closures are not common, we test the water often to make sure the public is safe while enjoying the reservoir,” said Cherry Creek State Park Operations Manager Larry Butterfield. “The elevated bacteria levels can be caused by fecal waste from wildlife, run-off from urban areas, or excessive run-off from rain, and the park has seen heavy rainfall this year.”

Swim beaches in the state are regularly tested and required to report water quality data, according to the CDPHE.
