Best Time to Camp at Lake Wedington

Summer arrives with characteristic Ozark warmth and humidity, with temperatures climbing to a balmy 89°F and rarely dipping below 72°F on sultry nights. Clear skies dominate nearly 70% of the time, painting perfect backdrops for stargazing. As autumn approaches, the oppressive humidity gives way to crisp, comfortable days that showcase nature's grand finale—a breathtaking display of fall colors that transforms the surrounding hills into a photographer's paradise. Each season brings its own charm, from spring wildflower blooms to winter's peaceful solitude.
