What to pack

What October feels like

The color runs all the way to the water and reflects off it, which is the thing people come back for year after year. Fall Fest packs Sister Bay midmonth — either plan around that weekend or lean into it, because there is no middle ground.

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

Can you swim?

The lake runs about 59° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
