There are people who like to test the waters first before they take a dip. A good dip of a toe gives them an idea if it would be better to slowly introduce themselves into the water, or majestically dive (or flop) given the water is deep enough. There are a lot more reasons why it’s important to understand the temperatures of lakes, especially when you’re going to take part in some kind of water activity. Temperatures influence where flora and fauna form and frolic, it’s a measure of what you should bring with you, if you need to bring your best bikini or your coolest wetsuit, or if you need to know where the ice is thickest. Lake Michigan is a large body of water, the second largest freshwater lake by volume among the Great Lakes. Large bodies of water can gather large amounts of energy, which can greatly affect the weather above it, as well as the temperatures of both the water and the wind. It could be a nice breezy afternoon in Chicago, but the center of Lake Michigan could very well be an oven.
Lake Michigan Temperatures During SummerSummer is when the water seems most attractive. The hot air coupled with the cooling water makes for excellent swimming opportunities, great fishing as some of the lake’s sport fish climb up to the warmer waters, and the weather is perfect for simply enjoying the sun and perhaps getting a good tan. Recent lake temperatures reported that Lake Michigan’s waters have an average temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit (24 degrees Celsius) with the temperatures cooler closer to the center of the lake. Temperatures close to the shore have been measured higher than 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius and higher). It’s worth noting that the ideal lake temperature for swimming is around 80-85 degrees Fahrenheit (25-27 degrees Celsius), especially for children. For those who want to slim down by swimming, ideal temperatures should be cooler at around 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit (23-25 degrees Celsius). Planning a trip to the lake during summer?

Lake Michigan Temperatures During WinterLake temperatures during winter can influence where the ice forms. Thin ice is one of the greater hazards of the lake, some of which is hard to identify especially for first-timers. As of recent, the average temperatures in Lake Michigan during the winter season are 36-39 degrees Fahrenheit (3-4 degrees Celsius). The temperature around the shores are lower and it gets slightly warmer as you go to the center of the lake. The shore temperature could go on the lower 30s (or sub-zero temperatures) and the center of the lake would be around 39 to 40, often climbing higher if it’s particularly sunny for a winter day. Only the bravest would dare swim in the lake during these cold temperatures, but it hasn’t stopped people from doing so. Swimming during the winter is illegal in Lake Michigan, unless it’s from one of the open beaches, with a lifeguard on duty, or scuba diving off a boat. Refer to the local authorities to find out the exact laws in the area before you take that icy dive. If you’re making your way to Lake Michigan during the winter, bring along one of our hoodie like the Fresh Coast ¼ Zip Women’s Performance Pullover.

When we think of large bodies of fresh water, one of the more famous ones in the United States is the Great Lakes. Among them is Lake Michigan, which is the only Great Lake fully encapsulated within the United States. It got its name from the Ojibwa Indian word “Mishigami or Michi-gami” which means “Large Lake”. Spanning about 58,000 square kilometers and having an approximate water volume of 4920 cubic kilometers, it the second largest among the Great Lakes, second only to Lake Superior (hence the name). With large bodies of water come great recreation and business, so what are the great recreations and businesses Lake Michigan is known for?
The City of Chicago and Lake Shore DriveThe best parts of the lake are close to the shores, where people can best enjoy land and water. Chicago is the go-to spot when you traverse Lake Michigan, which hosts numerous places for indoor shopping, outdoor recreation, and family must-sees like the aquariums, indoor ice-skating rinks, holiday festivals, and of course, Lake Shore Drive. As its name suggests, the Lake Shore Drive is a long stretch of lake shoreline along Lake Michigan. The lengthy shore, stretching approximately 25 kilometers, is filled with all sorts of places to go such as the Navy Pier, Lincoln Park, Soldier Field, Buckingham Fountain, and of course, the sandy shores of the lake.

Lake Michigan’s Frozen Pier and LighthouseThe St. Joseph North Pier features two lighthouses that take on a majestic form when winter arrives. During winter, on times when the tide is high and the waves crash on the lighthouse’s structures, it forms a ghostly ice veil around the entire structure, creating a haunting view of sleek ice spikes as if it was a creature that sprouted from the lonely icy waters. It makes for great photography. You can go there to get up close and personal if you want, just mind your step.

The Lake Michigan TriangleAn infamous area around Lake Michigan to the liking of the mysterious Bermuda Triangle. Around the area of Manitowoc, Ludington and Benton Harbor is where the theorized triangle is. The first mystery there was during 1891 when Thomas Hume sailed across the area for Lumber. He and his seven shipmates disappeared one night in that area, never to be seen again. Another notable mystery is the disappearance of Northwest Flight 2501 in 1950. The airline flight that carried 58 people crashed into Lake Michigan, with their last report stating severe electrical storms and high-velocity winds. The plane vanished from radar and no wreckage was found. To this day, there are reports of strange weather phenomena and UFO sightings in this area. In 2007, researchers discovered an ancient underwater rock formation similar to Stonehenge, and many people believe it was related to the mystery of the lake.
These are only some the many attractions Lake Michigan is known for and why we love it so much. There are many more, and they change as the seasons go by.
