Water Temperature: Daily Trends, Historical Records, and Forecast
✅ As of today, the minimum water temperature is above 82°F (28°C). This is very warm water, which may feel almost hot to most people. Swimming in such conditions is perfect for those seeking relaxation and comfort in the water. These waters are often preferred for relaxation in hot weather, as the water temperature does not cool the body significantly. However, it is important to remember that in such warm waters, caution is necessary, as prolonged exposure without rest can lead to overheating. It is important to note that these swimming tips and recommendations apply only in good weather. When the air temperature is below 68°F (20°C), and sometimes even below 77°F (25°C), swimming can be unpleasant even with relatively high water temperatures.

*** 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
Hyrum Reservoir, located in northern Utah, tends to run cooler than low-elevation lakes because of its higher altitude and inflow from mountain streams. Typical surface temperatures vary seasonally: in spring the water is often around 40–60°F (4–16°C) as snowmelt and cool inflows dominate; summer brings the warmest conditions, commonly about 60–75°F (15–24°C) at the surface on warm days; fall sees a steady decline to roughly 45–65°F (7–18°C); and in winter the surface can hover near freezing, about 32–36°F (0–2°C), with ice forming in cold spells. These ranges are approximate and will vary with weather, wind, depth, and recent runoff.
Swimming is permitted at Hyrum Reservoir as part of its recreational use, especially during the warmer months when surface temperatures are more comfortable. Park rules and posted signs govern where and when swimming is allowed, and visitors should be mindful of hazards: the water can remain chilly even in summer below the surface, increasing the risk of cold-water shock and hypothermia, and winter ice eliminates safe swimming entirely. As always, swimmers should follow local regulations, use caution around boat traffic, and check current conditions before entering the water.
