*** 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.

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.
