Wagner Creek drains the area north of Wagner Butte in the Siskiyous and runs through the town of Talent before it enters Bear Creek near the Talent exit (Mile 21) of I-5. There are several parks and public access points along Wagner Creek in Talent. Water samples are collected upstream of the mouth of Wagner Creek where it enters Bear Creek in an undesignated community recreation area. This area is often used accessed by neighbors, pets, and wildlife. Please be respectful of the neighborhood in this area as this sample site is NOT a designated park or recreation area.
Water quality for locations upstream can be inferred from results taken in a downstream location. If water quality is poor downstream, it is probably poor upstream as well though water quality improves upstream of sources of contamination. Stay tuned to Swim Guide for additional results as available.
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.
