Cool spell lingers as Holland State Park staff prep for crowds
Strong winds keep Lake Michigan waves high and temperatures at 65 in Grand Rapids, far below normal. Officials say the cool spell will continue through the week with upper 70s by weekend and water in the 40s to 50s, prompting beach warnings and maintenance work at Holland State Park as staff anticipate Labor Day crowds. Assistant park supervisor Jody Johnston notes the lull offers time to scrub shower walls, fix bathrooms, mow lawns, and service equipment while visitors remain scarce.
