The popular Albert Pike Recreation Area in Glenwood, Arkansas is one among a list of waterways that have been closed due to the threat of E. coli. The Arkansas Health Department said that natural E. coli is washing into lakes due to runoff of recent rainfall. Many swim beaches in the state have been closed due to the E. coli threat. Some of the other areas affected are Oakland Swim Beach in Marion County, several areas in Cleburne County around Greers Ferry Lake, Waveland Beach in Logan County, Lake Weddington in Washington County, Beaver Swim Beach and Lake Leatherwood, both in Carroll County, and Blanchard Springs in Stone County.
