Hamlin Lake Weather and Water Temperatures

One of the wonderful things about Hamlin Lake is the shape of the lake. Here’s why. Upper Hamlin Lake runs east and west, while Lower Hamlin Lake runs north and south. This means that, no matter what the wind direction on any given day, there’s probably a section of the lake which can be enjoyed. Hamlin Lake also has multiple bayous which are often very sheltered from the prevailing winds.

Hamlin Lake is for All Seasons

Hamlin Lake’s most popular season is summer, for who doesn’t love those lake breezes on a balmy day? Yet, the beauty of Hamlin Lake is certainly spectacular in the spring and fall as well. During the winter, Hamlin Lake is typically frozen solid enough for ice-fishing and snowmobiling fun.

Hamlin Lake Water Temperatures

The waters of Hamlin Lake beaches are typically much warmer than the water along Lake Michigan beaches. So, if the big lake feels a bit on the chilly side, head to a sheltered Hamlin Lake beach, such as the beach within the Ludington State Park.
