*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
Actual nearshore water temperatures may fluctuate by several degrees from the reported values, especially following heavy rainfall or extended periods of strong winds. Certain wind patterns can cause colder, deeper waters to rise and replace the sun-warmed surface water, leading to noticeable variations.
Our forecast is based on a proprietary mathematical model that considers real-time water temperature changes, historical trends, key weather patterns, wind strength and direction, and air temperature specific to each region. Additionally, we incorporate data from other resorts to enhance accuracy.

Location & Local Information
Biron Flowage typically follows the seasonal temperature patterns of midwestern flowages. In spring (April–June) surface temperatures usually rise from roughly 45–65°F (7–18°C) as snowmelt and cool rains transition into warmer weather. By summer (June–August) surface water commonly reaches about 70–80°F (21–27°C), and during heat spells can climb into the low-to-mid 80s°F (27–29°C); deeper water remains cooler because of stratification. In early fall (September–October) temperatures fall back into the 50–70°F range (10–21°C) before late-season cooling leads to near-freezing conditions under ice in winter (around 32–39°F / 0–4°C) when the flowage is ice-covered.
Swimming is a common recreational use on flowage waters and people do swim in Biron Flowage where there is public access and shoreline suitable for bathing. It is generally allowed, but users should heed posted signs, boat traffic, water-quality advisories and natural hazards such as drop-offs, submerged wood, or strong currents near channel connections. Summer surface temperatures make casual swimming comfortable, while spring and fall water can feel cold and increase the risk of cold-water shock; winter swimming is unsafe without specialized ice-safety precautions. Observing local guidance and common-sense safety practices ensures the best experience.
