Best Time to Camp at Lewey Lake

Each season paints Lewey Lake in dramatically different hues. Summer arrives with gentle warmth and balmy evenings perfect for campfire stories, though late spring visitors should come prepared for the notorious black fly season—nature's reminder that paradise has its price. As autumn approaches, the surrounding forests explode in a symphony of reds and golds. Winter transforms the landscape into a crystalline wonderland, where temperatures plummet and heavy snows blanket the region in pristine white—a time when the campground rests beneath nature's frozen spell.
