*** 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
Upper Greenwood Lake experiences pronounced seasonal changes in water temperature. In spring the surface typically runs about 45–65°F (7–18°C) as the lake stratifies and warms; by early summer temperatures commonly reach 65–75°F (18–24°C). The warmest period is mid to late summer when surface readings often climb into the mid to high 70s°F, occasionally reaching 80°F or a bit above (24–27+°C), making the water most comfortable for casual swimming. In autumn the lake cools again to roughly 50–70°F (10–21°C) depending on air temperatures, and in winter surface water can approach freezing, generally around 33–40°F (1–4°C) where ice is present. Local conditions such as recent weather, wind, and depth can shift these values from week to week.
Swimming in Upper Greenwood Lake is permitted in appropriate areas, but access and rules are set by shoreline property owners and the lake association, so not all shorelines are open to the public. Designated beaches and association-managed areas typically allow swimming during posted hours and may provide lifeguards or post safety advisories; restrictions exist to protect water quality, swimmer safety, and private property rights. Visitors should check current water-quality notices, posted rules, and seasonal hours before entering the water.
