As spring awakens the riverbanks, the park transforms into a verdant paradise, reaching its crescendo during the peak months of May through September when warm days invite swimming and balmy evenings stretch long into summer nights. While humidity occasionally adds its signature Midwest touch, it only enhances the joy of that first plunge into cool lake waters.
