Double red flags mean don’t go in the water

If you see double red flags at a state-designated swim beach at a state park along the Great Lakes, you are not allowed to enter the water.

To boost awareness of changing conditions and save lives, there's been a change to the Great Lakes beach flag warning system. A DNR land order [ [link removed] ] makes it illegal to enter the water when there is risk to human health and safety. Risks can include hazardous waves and/or dangerous water conditions, active rescue or recovery efforts, and environmental hazards. This does not apply to surfers using wind-powered or self-propelled wave-riding boards.

""If your summer plans include Great Lakes beach time at state parks, t"ake time to learn about "the beach flag warning system, safety features at "state-designated swim beaches, Great Lakes currents (and how to escape them) and more."
