MARQUETTE, MI— After the recent rain event, elevated levels of bacteria, specifically E. coli, have been detected at the Tourist Park swimming beach in Marquette, MI. The beach is closed to swimming until further notice.

The City of Marquette is collecting water samples daily and will reopen the beach to swimming when state water quality standards are met.

All other beaches remain open. Signs have been posted at Tourist Park.
