Did you know that hypothermia can occur even on a warm day?

Water temperatures are still pretty cold this time of year.  Recent water temperatures were in the low 50s.

A good rule of thumb– if the air temperature plus the water temperature is less than 120 degrees Fahrenheit, you should wear a wet suit.

I have included a link to Lake Michigan water temperatures on the R hand side of the page, along with weather links and the Gillson Beach weather conditions.

Please be sure to check the weather before paddling!

When the water temperatures warm up, we will start some of our regular paddles!

If you keep your boat at/launch from Gillson Sailing beach and have not joined our listserv, please send an email to wilmettekayakclub@gmail.com.
