(UNDATED) – The Indiana Department of Natural Resources announced the public outdoor swimming pools will remain closed for the 2020 summer season.

There is good news, DNR says most beaches are open.
These are located at Monroe, Patoka, Starve Hollow SRAs, Deam and Hardy Lakes, Pokagon, Potato Creek, Chain O’Lakes, Indiana Dunes, Ouabache, Lincoln, Whitewater Memorial. and Summit Lake State Parks; Cecil M. Harden (Raccoon SRA), Mississinewa, Brookville, and Ferdinand State Forest.
The beaches at Cagles Mill and Salamonie Lakes will reopen when the current high water levels return to safe levels.
