The best time to visit Spring Lake is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and ideal for outdoor activities.
During these months, the average daily temperatures range from 20°C to 27°C, making it great for enjoying the lake, beaches, and various water sports. The days are long, offering plenty of daylight for exploring the area's natural beauty and attractions. This is also when most local events and festivals take place, adding to the lively option.
Families often find summer an excellent time to visit Spring Lake. The warm weather allows for swimming, boating, and paddleboarding on Spring Lake and nearby Lake Michigan. Grand Haven City Beach, just a short drive away, provides ample space for building sandcastles and enjoying the sun. Many family-friendly activities, like mini-golf and ice cream shops, are also in full swing.
Couples looking for a relaxing getaway will also appreciate the summer. You can enjoy romantic strolls along the Grand Haven pier to the lighthouse, dine al fresco at one of the waterfront restaurants, or take a scenic boat cruise. The evenings are pleasant for enjoying a quiet drink outdoors.
While summer is the most popular time, late spring (May) and early autumn (September) also offer pleasant weather with fewer crowds.
