*** 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 Winola’s surface water temperatures vary with the seasons, reflecting northeastern Pennsylvania’s temperate climate. In spring (April–May) the lake typically runs cool, roughly 45–65°F (7–18°C) as warming progresses. Summer highs (June–August) commonly reach about 70–80°F (21–27°C) at the surface on warm afternoons, making the water comfortable for many swimmers. Early fall (September–October) sees a gradual decline to roughly 55–72°F (13–22°C) before the lake cools more sharply. In winter the surface approaches freezing, often 32–40°F (0–4°C), and parts of the lake may ice over during sustained cold spells.
Swimming at Lake Winola is generally possible during the warmer months where local regulations and property rights allow; residents and visitors typically swim from late spring through early fall when surface temperatures are milder. Whether swimming is advisable depends on current conditions — water temperature, local water-quality advisories, and safety provisions such as designated access points or supervision. Colder spring and fall water can be uncomfortable and increase the risk of cold-water shock, and winter ice makes open-water swimming unsafe. For safe enjoyment, swimmers should rely on posted guidance from local authorities or lake associations and exercise usual precautions regarding temperature and water quality.
