Reminder: There is a litter pick-up this Saturday from 9AM to 12 PM at three locations in NWI. Scan the QR code on the flyer. Let the parking attendants at Hammond Lakefront Park and Rogers-Lakewood Park know you are there for the litter pick-up. Bring a 💧bottle.

We have more ice forming on the lake and being pushed up onshore which makes it hard to decide where the beach or shore end and the water begins. Therefore, all I can say is "STAY OFF the ICE!"

When the NWS says "spray" they are talking "Freezing Spray"!

It may be a bit chilly right now with cooler or colder weather coming our way but it's never too early to think summer and swimming. Michigan City is looking for lifeguards for the 2022 swimming season.

Drownings happen year round, so we remind people year-round about how to safely enjoy the Great Lakes area, including Labor Day weekend:

5. Swim Near a Watchful Adult. Lifeguards are best, but others with flotation should watch kids and be ready to help.
