The Lakes
Lake Linganore is the largest of the four community lakes. Two beaches can be found along the lake in the villages of Nightingale and Coldstream. Lake Merle in Meadows Village is the second largest and has a small beach area on its eastern end. The remaining two lakes are Lake Anita Louise in Pinehurst Village and Lake Marion in Woodridge Village (the smallest of the four).
Lake Linganore Water Testing

LLA posts water test results Monday through Friday (excluding holidays) from Memorial Day to Labor Day. LLA Committee, Friends of the Lake, typically posts daily on Facebook (Friends of the Lake • Lake Linganore at Eaglehead).

Lake Linganore Water Test Results

As always, you can review water test results Monday through Friday (excluding holidays) from Memorial Day to Labor Day at lakelinganore.org/lakes or by scanning the QR code at the beaches. LLA Committee, Friends of the Lake,
typically posts daily on Facebook (Friends of the Lake • Lake Linganore at Eaglehead).

Lake Linganore water testing is conducted from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Water test samples are collected in the mornings from Nightingale Beach (from Lake Linganore), and the results are posted the following day (i.e., the results from samples taken the evening of August 28 are posted on August 29).

Daily model predictions are posted (Memorial Day – Labor Day) on the probability (low, moderate or high) that beach E. Coli concentrations will exceed the Maryland Public Beach Action Value (BAV).

Please note that there will likely be some contradictions between the E. coli model predication and inferences made from the prior day’s E-coli testing results. Residents will need to use their own decisions on lake use based on the best available information provided.
