If you expect the water to be warm, it is likely you won't enjoy a swim.

I suggest that you not go jumping straight into the lake The water temp is in the low 40's, I mean yesterday it was 41°f in Lake Erie Brrrrr is the proper term for that Good luck with that But to each their own is a saying as well Have a fantastic but safe summer

No it will like july August

Anything before Aug can be a real sack tightener I tell ya! Jump in in May and you're probably gonna self induce a heart attack!...lol

Children would go in adults no

Jim Theisen | Oct 30, 2018

No, it is still pretty cold.

If your a polar bear swimmer as some of us beach bums are so anxious to just dip into that beautiful water... I really would say it will NOT be warm, warm until late June but don't let that stop you from enjoying putting your feet in yhe sand and enjoying the BEAUTIFUL PARK & LAKE! So much to do there per example..biking rentals 4 multiple people, canoeing, boating rentals, picnicking, playgrounds& so so much more! Relax and Enjoy, Hope to see everyone :)

It will be cold, but always went memorial day

Aleks Krysa | Oct 30, 2018

No. After July 1st.

Pete McShea | Oct 30, 2018

You have to be pretty tough to swim before Memorial Day. Ice from the north is still melting and chilling the lake.

Gregory Wigham | Oct 30, 2018

Not likely.

J G | Oct 30, 2018

If u like it a little chilly

Proud Pennsylvanian | Oct 30, 2018

Historically the water temperature at the end of May is between 55 and 60. We usually don't see 70 until beginning of July. The beaches are still really fun and the whole park is filled with stuff to do!

I suppose it depends on how warm you like the water, it would be too cold for me

Al Johnson | Oct 30, 2018

Sometimes, but its memorial day weekend and a lot of people swim no matter what the water temperature is. Right now the water temp is a little higher than usual this time of year.

Tom Dietsch | Oct 30, 2018

Depends on the weather and how Tuff you are.

Donna Bosworth | Oct 30, 2018

Depends what you think is warm as well as the recent storm patterns

Don Gray | Oct 30, 2018

Yes

Lou L | Oct 30, 2018
