All lakes in Minnesota are capable of producing swimmers itch. Swimmers itch is caused by certain parasites that normally live on waterfowl and freshwater snails. You can reduce the odds of developing swimmers rash by staying away from areas of a lake where waterfowl and freshwater snails regularly congregate.

Can you protect against swimming pool itch?
Yes, some swimmers are sensative to high chlorine levels, and if the PH is to low many swimmers will experience a dry skin itch. So, keep the chlorine at 3.0 or less and the PH between 7.6 and 7.8.
