Best season: fall. Fall offers the most comfortable weather and the best scenery — daytime highs typically run in the 50s–60s°F with crisp nights in the 30s–40s, and peak hardwood and limestone-forest color occurs from late September through October. Hiking, battlefield interpretation, wildlife viewing, and group campfires are at their peak while humidity and insects drop, making primitive, walk-in group camping especially pleasant. Weekends and special battlefield-event dates can be moderately busy, so reserve in Peak months: October, September, May, April Avoid: December, January, February, March
Fall is best: cool days, crisp nights and peak color late Sep–Oct; reviewers favor fall visits.
