What to pack

What July feels like

The bay side warms up much faster than the Lake Michigan side, so Ephraim and Sister Bay swim well while Whitefish Dunes and Baileys Harbor stay bracing; that split is the single most useful thing to know about this place. Peak season also means both highways slow to a crawl on Friday afternoons.

Rain arrives about 7 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans.

Can you swim?

The lake runs about 73° — comfortable for swimming.
