There are many places to swim in Ramara, but we have five locations that are designated public beach locations. Throughout the summer between June and September (Labour Day weekend) water samples are collected from these designated public beaches by the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit. In Ontario, water samples are tested for E. coli bacteria and the beach may be posted when bacteria levels exceed the recreational water quality guideline of 200 E. coli per 100 mL of water.
The public beach monitoring program began June 17 and will run to August 30, 2024.
Beaches are unsupervised, so please play responsibly when around the water.
