'SteamWorks: Bar and Grill' is located in the upstairs of 'The Mad Bean', entrance is in the rear of the building beside of the patio.
-While standing on the lower steps of this access and facing UPSTREAM, you can view remnants of the 'A & Y Railroad' stone bridge supports near the river's bend.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
- Passed water quality tests 60-95% of the time
