(Undated)– The Iowa Department of Natural Resources continues to recommend no swimming at one beach in the Iowa Great Lakes.
DNR officials say Crandall’s Beach on the north shore of Big Spirit Lake continued to have high levels of e-coli bacteria in the latest tests conducted last week.
The agency says Emerson Bay, which was on the list of recommended no swimming locations a week ago, has been removed from the designation as the levels there had dropped below the advisory guideline. Ainsworth Beach on the south side of Big Spirit Lake along with those at Gull Point, Pikes Point and Marble Beach were all listed as safe for swimming.
Officials caution bacteria levels can change quickly depending upon weather and other conditions.
