Lakemoor beach closed by high bacteria levels

Lakemoor’s Morrison Park Beach was closed Tuesday pending further testing after water samples of Lily Lake showed high bacteria levels, the McHenry County Department of Health announced.

Another round of water testing is scheduled for Thursday, according to the department. The department also issued advisories for Lake Park Beach on Crystal Lake and Wooded Shores on Wonder Lake, and planned to conduct further testing at those locations this week.

The department tests all licensed beaches on the 13 lakes in McHenry County for water quality every two weeks throughout the summer. Information on beach water, results and locations are available at the MCDH webpage, www.mcdh.info, or by calling (815) 334-4585.
