Does anyone know when we can swim in the lake again? And are the boat/kayak/SUP board rental places still in business right now?

Lakefront Sports is still operating as are other businesses so the answer is yes. As far as swimming in concerned, any chance I get I'm in the water.

A 10 minute swim at that temperature would force me to sit to pee for a week. No thanks.

It warms up more during the day and it's very refreshing.

Yep 13-15 is perfect when its 35+ outside

Expected survival rate is 1 - 6 hours so just don't stay in that long.
