The beach in Wilson Tuscarora State Park in Wilson has reopened to swimmers, state parks officials announced this afternoon.
The state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation temporarily closed the beach on Sunday after heavy rains, which are typically followed by increased bacteria levels in the water.
Results of water sampling were "satisfactory" to reopen the water to swimmers, officials said in a press release today.
