Learn more about alerts →Fall hikers and paddlers get the most out of this place. Moore's Knob trail and the waterfall routes are the real draws, and the upper loop sites deliver genuine seclusion. Site #003 is the pick if you want water and restroom access together. Reserve well ahead, sites go fast.
RVs with hookup needs will hit a wall: no electric, no sewer, no dump station, and several sites aren't RV-friendly to begin with. The bathhouses draw consistent complaints about condition. Summer crowds at the lake can get loud and chaotic on weekends.

Fall delivers the best conditions. October highs typically reach the mid-50s to mid-60s°F, with crisp nights dipping into the mid-30s to low-50s°F. Humidity drops, bugs clear out, and the foliage show peaks. Summer is warm and muggy. Good for lake swimming but expect slick conditions on some structures. Spring brings frequent rain and active waterfalls. Winter can dust the peaks with snow and stays sharp and cold.
Fall highlighted as best season for foliage, mild temps, clearer skies and hiking.
