Memorial Day weekend will bring summer-like weather to Iowa. If you're thinking about celebrating at the beach in one of Iowa's state parks, be sure you check the water quality first. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources provides weekly updates on which state beaches are experiencing high levels of E. coli or algae that can be dangerous to swimmers. You can check the latest reports on the DNR website or by calling 515-725-3434. The DNR collects weekly samples at 39 state-owned swimming beaches to determine the public's risk of coming in contact with waterborne diseases. Testing starts a week prior to Memorial Day and runs through Labor Day. Tap the link in our bio for more on this story. #DesMoines #Iowa #IowaOutdoors #Lakes #WaterQuality
