Great Lakes Too Cold for Swim

Michigan’s summer heat is here, and while the Great Lakes remain chilly—Lake Superior barely hitting 50s and Lake Michigan in the low 50s—some inland lakes like Houghton and Otsego are warming to 67 degrees, making them safer bets for a swim. Don’t risk jumping into 50-60 degree water: it can trigger panic, high blood pressure, and even hypothermia. Water temps will climb through August, so swim smart and know your limits.
