Summer Weather in the Great Lakes Bay
Average High: 81° / Average Low: 60°
WHAT TO EXPECT
Summer days are a tall drink of water around here. Think: breezy boat tours and freshwater sailing, lunch on the patio before a pedal trolley ride through town. It’s go-time to spend a day at the beach and sleep under the stars — or stay out late sipping brews at an outdoor beer garden.
WHAT TO PACK
Shorts and short-sleeves or sundresses by day, with light jackets you can layer on at night, so there’ll be no need to head back to the hotel early (unless you want to). Pajamas and room service?
Enjoy Breezy Boating + Unspoiled Beaches
