The Iowa DNR says swimming is not recommended at 15 state beaches and three county or city beaches this Labor Day weekend.
Key takeaways
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is advising people not to swim at 18 Iowa beaches during Labor Day weekend.
The advisory covers 15 state beaches and three beaches managed by a county or city. The DNR’s notice identifies the locations as beaches where swimming is not recommended for the holiday weekend.
The notice applies to both state-operated beaches and local beaches. It does not describe the three county or city beaches as state beaches; they are listed separately from the 15 state beaches.
The recommendation is in effect for Labor Day weekend. People planning to visit an Iowa beach should check the DNR’s current beach information before swimming.
The DNR’s beach advisories can change as conditions are reviewed. Visitors should follow posted notices and any updated direction from the DNR or the local agency managing a beach.
