Mid-May through September brings the best conditions: daytime highs in the mid-50s to mid-70s, cool mornings in the 50s, and reliable dry weather. This is when you can hike the riverside trails, fish when water levels drop, and photograph the falls without getting soaked. Sites fill early on summer weekends but weekdays stay peaceful.

Best conditions mid‑May through Sept; summer reviews praise hosts and weather.
