We’ve received a lot of questions about beach access around Harry S. Truman Dam & Reservoir for the upcoming weekend, and again we hear you!
Due to standard water testing results and receding lake elevation, some conditions have changed at our designated swim beaches.
Shawnee Bend Beach: Open
Thibaut Point Beach: Open
Long Shoal Beach: Open
Bucksaw Beach: Closed due to failed standard water sample testing (high E. coli levels).
We know these changing conditions can be frustrating, especially as summer heats up, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding.
We’ll also continue posting local updates here on Facebook as conditions change. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe and informed!
