Iowa Beaches Under Water Advisory | Des Moines News

Iowa’s beaches are under a water quality alert—11 state park spots, including Big Creek, now have advisories due to elevated E. coli and microcystin levels. Officials urge swimmers to avoid submerging their heads and to wash up thoroughly afterward to cut illness risk. Beaches remain open, but fewer visitors are showing up—partly due to advisories, partly bad weather. Stay smart this summer: check advisories, wash hands before eating, and enjoy the water safely.
