Check the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board site:
http://www.minneapolisparks.org/default.asp?PageID=503
There's a link there for current beach status and a phone number you can call.
They haven't posted any test results yet for this year, but I think they post
them weekly after the beaches open. There's also some good information about
health concerns and indicators to look for.
Good question about the golf course. That might be on the Parks and Rec site,
too.

summer? Otherwise, I doubt we will swim in the lake again.
