RED ROCK, Pa. Lois Christman and her dog Molly love to spend summer days at Lake Jean in Ricketts Glen State Park. Come up here, at least every couple of weeks, because it s the coolest place when it s hot, said Christman. Nice hiking, beautiful scenery, I do a lot of photography. Molly loves the water.
But Molly can t swim at the lake, and neither can anyone else because of high levels of coliform bacteria in the water.
