Alert

Ogden Dunes Beach closed until further notice, visit www.ogdendunes.in.gov for more information.

Due a fish kill in the area from what is possibly due to an as-yet unconfirmed chemical source, the Town Council has chosen to be extremely cautious and to close the Ogden Dunes beach until further notice.

IDEM and IDNR are involved and the results of their investigation will be passed along as received. The Indiana Dunes National Park has closed their beach to our east.

Indiana American Water has restricted their intake of water at their Ogden Dunes filtration plant, so our water distribution will be unaffected.

Instructions:

Stay off of the Ogden Dunes Beach and away from the lakefront until further notice.
