Conservation Minnesota has launched a new web page dedicated to reporting the condition of the state’s beaches just in time for summer beach going season.

State law does not require swimming beaches to be regularly tested – or posted when there is pollution – but some counties, districts, and cities choose to do so. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency also monitors Lake Superior beaches during the summer. The beach data page pulls data from these different sources and compiles it in one easy-to-use page. The report is available here.

This new tool follows the spring launch of Check My Lake, a site that allows people to easily look up whether their local lake is too polluted for swimming or fishing
