Friends of the Shenandoah River continues our Summer E. coli Testing Program at public access locations on the main stem, South Fork, and North Fork of the Shenandoah River. Real-time monitoring results are made available on all digital devices to let you, the river user, make an informed decision as to potential related health risks when engaging in recreational use activities.

FOSR utilizes WaterWatch*, a comprehensive digital platform that supports data collection, management, and visualization. FOSR provides unrestricted access to our water-quality data. We ask that acknowledgment and credit be given when using and referring to these data.

The test results in the map below provide a snapshot of the E. coli bacteria concentrations at the designated sites on the date, time, and under the conditions that the water samples were collected.
