Are boating and swimming available at Pinconning Park?
Pinconning Park is located along the Saginaw Bay shoreline. The Saginaw Bay is part of Lake Huron. The Saginaw Bay shoreline is a coastal wetland shoreline. Coastal wetland shorelines feature lush vegetation, reed grasses, and abundant wildlife. Lake Huron (including the Saginaw Bay) water levels have dropped several feet over the past few years, and are now considered at, or near their lowest levels recorded. Lower water levels impact many activities on the Saginaw Bay, including swimming, boating, fishing, waterfowl hunting, ice fishing, and snowmobiling. Responsible outdoor recreational users should consider these factors when planning activities involving the use of the Saginaw Bay. In general, average water depths of 1-3 feet extend approximately 50-1000 feet from shore in the Pinconning Park area. However, wind direction and speed, along with recent rain and snow amounts can contribute to fluctuations in water depth.
