*** 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
Lake Hawkins, a small reservoir in northeastern Texas, follows the seasonal temperature patterns typical of East Texas lakes. Surface temperatures in winter commonly range from about 45–55°F (7–13°C), warming in spring to roughly 55–70°F (13–21°C) as air temperatures rise. By mid to late summer the surface often reaches 75–90°F (24–32°C), with the warmest readings during prolonged heat waves, while autumn brings a cooling trend back into the 60–75°F (15–24°C) range. These figures are approximate; actual temperatures vary with depth, time of day, shading, and recent weather conditions, so cooler water will be found below the surface and after cold fronts.
Swimming at Lake Hawkins is generally allowed and the lake is used for a variety of recreational activities, but there are important caveats. There are few if any lifeguarded beaches, limited designated swim areas, and places may be restricted because of municipal water supply, submerged vegetation, or boat traffic, so safety and water-quality advisories can affect access. For those who choose to swim, common precautions apply: be mindful of sudden depth changes, hazards like timber and brush, and local signage or ordinances. Checking with local authorities or park managers before planning a swim provides the most reliable, up-to-date guidance.
