The Lake Hiawatha beach E. coli levels have been normal for some time.
The beach remained closed for a couple of seasons after the original E.
coli closure due to budgetary cuts, not unsafe levels of bacteria. The
Lake Hiawatha beach will be open again this summer on weekends, as it
was last year. The Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board regularly tests
our lakes and swimming areas for bacteria levels and would not allow a
beach to be open if levels were unsafe. Additionally, it is probably
okay that you don't allow your dogs in the lake as it is not allowed at
the beach and dogs are not to be off leash in park areas other than Off
Leash Recreation Areas.
