I've been praising our Pure Michigan state. But as of today we do have several beaches closed do to contamination issues. Included in list of closures are Lake St. Clair Metropark Beach, St. Clair Shores Memorial Park Beach, Seven Lakes State Park Oakland County, Independence Lake County Park Washtenaw County. Hopefully that changes.
