Weather at Tullahasse Loop

Best Time to Camp at Tullahasse Loop

Best season: spring. Spring offers the best combination of mild weather, active wildlife, and calm backwater boating — daytime temperatures typically range from about 50–80°F (cool mornings, warm afternoons). Spring runoff can raise the oxbow's water level, making paddling and fishing excellent and bringing abundant bird activity and fresh green growth in the mixed hardwoods. Crowds are generally light to moderate compared with summer, so you get peaceful mornings on the water and full use of the 15 primitive sites. Peak months: April, May, September, October Avoid: November, December, January, February
