Effective:  October 4, 2022   Updated:  May 9, 2023

• Swimming is not recommended at any time of year at Miquelon Lake
• Increasing lake temperatures and decreasing water levels have created high concentrations of salt, and plant and bacteria growth.
• Fecal coliform bacteria is typically present in summer months at high levels due to high populations of waterfowl and gulls and can cause illness.
• Park visitors are encouraged to take advantage of the many other summer recreation options at Miquelon Lake, including birdwatching on the lake.
