CRYSTAL LAKE – Crystal Lake's Main and West beaches were closed Tuesday because of recent flooding, according to an alert on the Crystal Lake Park District's website.

Swim lessons are canceled, and the Lakewood Police Department has declared Crystal Lake at “no-wake” status until further notice. However, the scheduled concert still was on for Tuesday night at Main Beach.

Excessive amounts of rain can elevate bacteria levels in the water, making it unsafe for swimmers, according to the website. The elevation most often occurs in shallow water. The water then is tested daily by the McHenry County Department of Health to determine when it is safe again.
