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 help you make an informed decision about getting on or in the water.
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.
