#MIDDLEBURY
The Army Corps of Engineers announced Friday, May 27, 2016, that the swimming area at Hop Brook Lake on Route 63 in Middlebury will remain closed until further notice. The continued closure is the result of water quality testing that indicates bacteria levels in the lake exceed Connecticut state standards.
The Corps will retest the swimming area and it will be reopened if test results are satisfactory. The remainder of the park at Hop Brook Lake will remain open daily as usual for picnicking, hiking and other recreational activities. Only the swimming area remains closed.
