Best Time to Camp at Upper Chicken Creek Habitat Preserve Crup Campground

Open year-round, Upper Chicken Creek transforms with the seasons—spring wildflowers give way to summer's golden light, then autumn colors and winter's stark beauty. Gate hours change seasonally, so check Metro's current schedule before heading out. Recent rains can temporarily alter trail conditions and boat access, but that's all part of camping in a living, breathing ecosystem that prioritizes long-term preservation over convenience.
