Beach Safety Guidelines

With warm weather, our beaches see higher use. This is a reminder that the City’s beaches do not have lifeguards. Observing these water safety tips is key to enjoying Lake Pepin/Mississippi RIver waterfront:

• Never swim alone
• 
  
• Supervise children when they are in the water and avoid distractions
• 
  
• Bring water as water fountains are not open.
• 
  
• Wear a life vest or personal flotation device.
• Bring a wagon to haul gear & snacks.
• 
  
• Bring extra water.
• Social distance guidelines are 6 feet.
• Stay in designated swimming area.

Even lakes can have some undertow, so please be vigilant as you and your families enjoy the beach!
