“Pretty unreal considering we had thunderstorms and hail last week and here we are out on the lake 7 days later sweating. It's nice,” said Dan Peck, a boater.
Low 90s are in this weekend's forecast, so it's easy to start thinking in summer mode. However, you have to remember it is still April. That means melting snow continues to keep the water in lakes and rivers between 55 to 62 degrees.
“Believe it or not you can actually get hypothermia. Even if it's 90 degrees outside,” said Park Ranger Dan Youngren.
Park Ranger Dan Youngren keeps an eye out for those who may be pushing the limit.
“You need to know your ability. Swimming in a lake is a lot different than swimming in a swimming pool,” said Youngren.
Steve Hernandez and his family realize that, which is why he and the kids stay close to shore.
“It goes in then it's good, good, and then out of nowhere it just drops. So you've got to be careful of that for the kids,” said Steve Hernandez, a swimmer.
Sean Henschel and his buddies were stoked to get in some wakeboarding.
“Once you get in it's a little bit chilly, but once you get into it and do your runs it's not so bad,” said Sean Henschel, a wakeboarder.
Henschel, who adds insulation with a wetsuit, says he still plays it safe by not staying in the water too long.
“Once you're in there for 10 or 15 minutes then you usually rotate crews or have a person switch out,” says Henschel.
As you look for other ways to stay cool this weekend, keep in mind
