OCEANA COUNTY, Mich. — A Lake Michigan beach has reopened after closing for “high bacteria levels” a day before the Fourth of July.
The closure impacted Lighthouse Beach at Silver Lake State Park, according to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE).
Data shows it was the first time the beach was closed since 2013.
EGLE says samples taken on Tuesday returned high levels of bacteria on the north side of the beach, but the closure has since been lifted.
