Best Time to Camp at Ohara
Experience the dramatic seasonal transformations of the Selway wilderness, where summer brings warm, sun-drenched days perfect for river activities and starlit nights around the campfire. As autumn arrives, crisp air and golden light create ideal hiking conditions. Winter transforms the landscape into a snow-covered wonderland, while spring's arrival brings rushing waters and wildflower blooms. During warmer months, stay alert for the area's native rattlesnakes, who share this spectacular habitat.
Peak season May–Sept: ideal for rafting, fishing and warm river days; some maintenance issues.
Open into late Oct with autumn color and fewer crowds; water/maintenance issues persist.
Opens mid‑May; late spring offers river activities but season window is limited.
Closed in winter months; season runs May 14–Oct 30.
