Question

i know the adverage high is like 54 at that tiem of year but hows the water

Answer 1

you can.....but the water is very cold and I wouldn't recommend it. It can snow here in febuary, so you can imagine how cold the lake is.

Answer 2

There could be significant shrinkage!

Answer 3

too cold for me, i do not know about you.

I was catching a cold without swimming there in April...

Answer 4

Unless you're are Finnish and used to icecold water I would not take a risk... The Boats are not running in Winter. But on a sunny day the scenery around the lake with snowcovered mountains in the back is just great!

Answer 5

are you into polar dip? if you are, then you can brave the cold water...
