On ours, it's only the water. :smt043

Look at the temperature of that water.................it's like taking a bath. :smt009 Luckily the whole Lake is not like this.

Lake?
 
There isn't any on Lake George...
It's in the mountains to begin with and is pretty deep...The warmest it would get mid August is probly 78. Right now is 76 or so...unless you are in a shallow bay.
Ice is on the lake till mid April to start with.
 
Lake Champlain was 71 yesterday when I was in it (in a bay in 7' of water) Similar conditions to Lake George (but colder) up here!

Fort Loudoun and Watts Bar Lakes (Tennessee River) have been about 82-84F lately. Pretty nice.

BTW... Were you asking about temperature or crowded spots? :huh:
 
Our "Lake" stays right in the low 90's most of the summer but it gets down in the 70's in the winter. :smt043
 
I must get a thermometer at some point for the boat. I have no clue except it is much warmer than even a month ago.

Close approximation would be around 78-82, and I guess the hotspot would be the cove everyone rafts up in...a few degrees warmer, but everyone DOES pee there while "swimming."

Not sure about the lake but the Puget Sound is mid 50's. Next week though we'll be in Canada in warm spot that gets up to mid 70's
 
85 degrees tonight in Lake Lanier. But I believe it was a little warmer over fourth of July:
