July 11, 2018, Clallam County Health and Human Services has re-opened Cline Spit County Park to water recreation. Recent water sampling determined that fecal bacteria levels were low and safe for swimming.Contact with fecal contaminated waters can result in gastroenteritis, skin rashes, upper respiratory infections, and other illnesses. Children and the elderly may be more vulnerable to waterborne illnesses.
