What to pack

What September feels like

After Labor Day the peninsula empties while the bay holds onto its summer warmth, which is why locals rate September above anything else on the calendar. Evenings cool quickly, so the porch you booked for the sunset wants a layer.

Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.

Can you swim?

The lake runs about 68° — brisk but swimmable.
