I cannot count the number of times I've driven by this lake, admired how absolutely GORGEOUS it is, and never stopped to swim. Next year's bucket list includes Crescent Lake.

Try to swim in the morning. Towards the afternoon the winds can get quite strong and sudden and whip the lake up.

You can also rent kayaks from the lodge if you want to get on the water but not take an ice bath. As pusheenforchange stated,the morning would be better for calmer waters.

Would you say it's colder than Lake Chelan? Even when it's 95 degrees in Chelan, the lake can take your breath away in late spring. Just curious...

It was shockingly cold in late April so I'd guess probably close to Lake Chelan temp wise
