Welcome to Indiana's Lake Michigan Beaches
Indiana's Lake Michigan beaches are a wonderful place to play, watch wildlife, fish, and swim. With these beaches giving us so much, we have to protect them from a variety of potential problems. We can help you plan a trip to the beach, learn about beaches and the issues around them, and understand how we protect beaches.
Please use this site to obtain current Lake Michigan water quality conditions at Lake, Porter and LaPorte County beaches throughout the swimming season.
