L'anse Township Park is a Great Lakes beach in Baraga County, Michigan. Across 119 bacteria samples collected between 2023 and 2025 at nearby monitoring stations, it earns a Beach Safety Grade of A — Excellent.
About 3% of samples at L'anse Township Park exceeded the EPA Beach Action Value of 235 CFU/100 mL for Escherichia coli — the threshold at which water managers typically post a swimming advisory. In practice that means the safe-swimming limit was rarely crossed here over the monitored period. Bacteria samples almost never exceed the safe-swimming threshold.
The evidence behind this grade is deep for a beach page: 119 results from 13 monitoring stations, spanning 2023 to 2025. Enough sampling, from enough places, over enough seasons that one bad week can't drive the letter.
L'anse Township Park was not under a swimming advisory in the most recent EPA snapshot. Conditions can change quickly after heavy rain or high runoff, so it's still worth checking the current advisory the day you go.
