Test Result Comments

E. coli testing on Wednesday, June 3, 2009 indicated that bacteria levels at all national lakeshore swimming waters were within the water quality standards for swimming.

The National Park Service provides this information for visitors so they may make informed decisions regarding contact with the waters of Lake Michigan within Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. The National Park Service does not close its beach as a result of water conditions. The beach remains open and available for public use, and the public is advised to take precautions for their own safety based on water quality, weather conditions, and other relevant information.

Please note: West Beach is the only national lakeshore beach area where lifeguards are provided. For information on rip-current warnings visit the National Weather Service’s Web site: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/hazards/lot.
