Maumee Bay State Park’s latest beach-bacteria threat was declared over at 10:40 a.m. Thursday, 19 minutes after a new bacteria advisory was issued for the East Harbor State Park beach in Marblehead, Ohio.

The two parks are along the Lake Erie shoreline, 41 miles apart.

The Ohio Department of Health made the announcements in two separate emails. The advisories are issued and removed by the local Ottawa County Health Department.

Maumee Bay State Park’s inland beach advisory was issued Tuesday morning. It lasted almost exactly 48 hours. Most advisories are in response to thunderstorms and other types of inclement weather.
