Swimming at Fort Wilderness

[Sue Mrosk]

Does anyone know if they've opened the beach at Ft. Wilderness? The last couple of times we were there, it wasn't opened. Just wondered if this was just a temporary thing. Do they have any swimming in the lake at any of the resorts? Thanks

I doubt they'll ever open any of the lakes for swimming again. There are lots of rumors out there as to why you can't swim in them, and they're all viable. Some people say the bacteria levels are too high. Others say it's the boat traffic and pollution. And then other people say that it's the alligators. If any of those things are true, I don't think anyone wants to swim in the water.
