Water Quality Sampling Results
Arundel Rivers samples for bacteria at Ingalls' Beach every Thursday between Memorial Day and Labor Day. These results will be pasted below when they are received from Arundel Rivers, usually on Friday afternoon. If the data below appear out of date, more recent data may be available on the Arundel Rivers facebook page or at https://www.theswimguide.org/affiliates/arundel-rivers-federation/
The acceptable concentration of Enterococci bacteria for swimming and other direct water contact is less than 104 (cfu) colony forming units/100ml.
Anne Arundel County has a 48 hour no swimming/recreational use guidance of water ways after a rain event. Feces from geese and dogs, as well as leaky septic tanks are the top contributors to high bacteria results. Please pick up after your pets!

South River Park has two park and garden areas.
Ingalls Beach is located on Riverside Road. The property no longer has an active beach, but offers a serene view of Warehouse Creek as well as the park property. A kayak rack is located on the property and plans are underway to improve water access by canoeists, paddle boarders, and kayakers.
The community gardens at the Club House are also maintained by volunteers. In addition to landscaping the park grounds, the Beautification Committee is developing a South River Park Memory Garden as a place to reflect on happy memories in South River Park as well as community members who are no longer with us. Plantings in this area include specimens from gardens of those gone as well as other plantings in memory of past residents.
