Ha, well...For the record, we wouldn't have worked this hard to get these permits over the last nine years if we thought the water would get down into the 40's. That would be an awful experience for everyone involved. I grew up in Lake Michigan and that's cold even for me.

We picked September because the lake would be at it's warmest or close to it.

We were up at the lake this weekend, with air temps in the mid 60's and the water temps at two feet deep were pretty close to the same. Whoever answered that call at the marina was most likely messing with you unfortunately.

Our best guess is that Lake Dillon will be at 62*F on race morning.
