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
Muddy Run Recreation Reservoir in Pennsylvania typically experiences cold to cool water much of the year, with surface temperatures following seasonal patterns common to inland reservoirs. In winter the water often sits near freezing to the low 40s °F (about 0–5 °C). Spring brings a steady warming trend, with surface temperatures commonly ranging from roughly 40–60 °F (4–16 °C) as the season progresses. By summer the reservoir can reach its warmest levels, frequently into the mid-60s to low 80s °F (18–28 °C) on the surface during warm spells, though deeper water remains substantially cooler. In autumn the surface cools again, generally falling back through the 50s to 40s °F (10–7 °C) before winter stratification breaks down.
Swimming at Muddy Run is not promoted as a formal recreational beach activity and is generally discouraged or restricted because the reservoir is managed for operational and safety reasons. Fluctuating water levels, steep or muddy shorelines, cold deep water, lack of lifeguards, and boat traffic create hazards that make unsupervised swimming unsafe. Visitors interested in entering the water should check current local rules and signage and use designated public swimming areas elsewhere that are staffed and monitored for safety.
