Indiana Dunes beaches have been closed for four days in a row because of high E. coli levels.  See 
http://www.post-trib.com/cgi-bin/pto-story/news/z1/07-02-02_z1_news_4.html.  What do you think about paddling in it?  You have to get a little wet putting in and you always get a few splashes in the mouth and eyes from waves and the paddle.  It is so hot I would be really disappointed by not being able to take a dunk in the lake to cool off so I am staying away for now.
