Best Time to Camp at Isaac Creek

Summer transforms Isaac Creek into a sultry Southern paradise where temperatures dance near 93°F and the air hangs thick with humidity that tells tales of approaching afternoon thunderstorms.

Frequent but brief rain showers keep the forest lush and provide dramatic cloud displays over the water, creating those perfect moments when sunshine breaks through storm clouds to paint rainbows across the lake.
