State Park Beaches and Pools Open This Weekend
State park swimming pools and bathing beaches will open this weekend for the 1942 vacation season. Hugh A. Barnhart announces supervised by lifeguards meeting Red Cross standards. Pools at Brown County and McCormick’s Creek and beaches at Pokagon, Indiana Dunes, Bass Lake, Spring Mill, and Shakamak attract visitors with child friendly shallow sections and safe play areas. Lifeguards are trained, water is treated, and Red Cross lifesaving classes continue. The Shakamak bath area is expanded to ease congestion, with a possible Shakamak Swimming and Diving Meet next August. A new bath house opened at Spring Mill last year.
