Best Time to Camp at Dewolf Point State Park

Summer brings daytime highs of 70–80°F and nighttime temperatures in the 50s–60s, with water temperatures reaching the mid-60s to low 70s. This makes July and August the busiest months for swimming, boating, and dock fishing. Spring arrives with occasional rain, while fall turns the island's trees to gold and red. Winter transforms the park into a quiet, snow-covered retreat. Book well ahead for summer stays, especially if you want waterfront cabins.
