The Big Rock picnic area on the
Middle Fork of Beargrass Creek in Louisville’s Cherokee Park is used for
swimming and wading in summer, but it’s located in a Combined Sewer area that
overflows to the stream when it rains. SRWW volunteers sample the stream at
Big Rock for bacteria five times a month. Results are posted quarterly on a kiosk maintained by
Louisville Metro Parks (picture above). To
learn more or get involved, contact
