Monitoring of Minnesota’s Lake Superior beaches has ceased and will resume in May 2012. All advisory signs have been removed
Along with beaches in Duluth, Two Harbors, Silver Bay, Gooseberry and Tettegouche State Park beaches, the following beaches in Cook County are monitored: Chicago Bay boat launch in Hovland; Paradise Beach, Kadunce Creek, Durfee Creek in Colvill; Old Shore Road, Grand Marais downtown, Grand Marais campground in Grand Marais; Cutface Creek Wayside Rest; Temperance River State Park, Schroeder Town Park and Sugarloaf Cove Beach in Schroeder.
Although beach water contact is unlikely as the weather cools, persons who do show and then experience illness should call the Minnesota Department of Health at (877) 366-3455.
