Special Weather Statement issued May 24 at 2:21AM EDT by NWS Gray ME

2:21 AM — 12:00 PM

* The warm air temperatures later this Holiday weekend in the mid 60s may cause people to underestimate the dangers of the cold water temperatures which are currently only in the mid 50s across Sebago Lake and Lake Winnipesaukee, and in the mid 50s in the regions smaller lakes and rivers. * The cold water temperatures can quickly cause hypothermia to anyone immersed in the water. When the water temperature is below 60 degrees, the average submerged person could loose dexterity within minutes and be unable to accomplish simple tasks. Anyone on small boats, canoes, or kayaks should plan accordingly if recreating this weekend and use extreme caution to avoid this threat. Paddle smart from the start and always wear your life jacket! * Winds will be breezy this afternoon with some gusts up to 25 mph across parts of the area. If boating on large bodies of water, these strong winds can increase the likelihood of overturning your boat, canoe, or kayak due to increased wave heights.

About

Wadleigh State Park occupies more than 50 acres on the southeastern shore of Kezar Lake in North Sutton, New Hampshire. The park's main attraction is its smooth sandy beach and crystal-clear water, making it an excellent destination for swimming and watersports. A wide path shaded by tall pines and hemlocks extends the length of the beach. The park offers boat rentals for exploring Kezar Lake. Paddlers can visit a small island on the lake known for abundant wild blueberries, or follow the scenic three-mile loop around the lake which provides stunning views of nearby Mount Kearsarge. Amenities include a bathhouse with changing facilities and restrooms, picnic tables and grills, a playground, and a park store. This is a day-use facility only with no overnight camping available. Pets are not permitted in the park. The park operates seasonally, typically opening for weekends in late May before transitioning to full-time operations in mid-June.
