*** 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
Mogadore Reservoir typically follows the seasonal temperature patterns common to small inland lakes in northeastern Ohio. In winter the surface water often hovers near freezing up to the low 40s °F (about 0 to 4 °C), with ice possible in cold spells. Spring warming pushes surface temperatures into the mid-40s to around 60 °F (7–16 °C) as turnover occurs. Summer brings the warmest surface readings, commonly in the low 70s to around 80 °F (21–27 °C) on warm afternoons, though deeper water remains substantially cooler. By autumn the surface cools again into the 50s to mid-60s °F (10–18 °C) as the lake mixes and approaches winter conditions. Local weather, wind, and reservoir depth will influence these ranges year to year.
Swimming at Mogadore Reservoir is generally restricted; many reservoirs that serve local water supply, wildlife management, or have limited shoreline access prohibit open swimming for water‑quality and safety reasons, and Mogadore has historically had access limitations and posted rules. Even where informal wading occurs, temperature stratification and cold deeper water can pose hypothermia and underwater hazard risks. Visitors should follow posted signage and municipal regulations and use designated public beaches or community pools when available for safer swimming opportunities.
