RELATED: High levels of E. coli bacteria keeps 4 Minneapolis beaches closed

"I have heard about the bacteria in the lakes, and you know, one would always assume that there is always bacteria in the lakes, but when there are higher levels and they're putting up signs for that, it's a little scary," said Derek Plagman, who lives in Minneapolis.

But, it's not stopping everyone.

"We're also renting a couple of kayaks, and they just indicated we should go to the Lake of the Isles and didn't tell us about the bacteria, but we were well aware of that," said Angie Scribner, who lives in Excelsior.

MPRB previously said the closures are likely due to a combination of stormwater runoff and waterfowl. However, all other MPRB public beaches are open.
