Fall offers the best combination of comfortable weather and scenery. Expect daytime highs around 55–75°F (cooler by late November) and crisp nights in the 40s–50s, perfect for campfires. Virginia creeper and understory plants take on crimson and gold hues, making hiking, biking, and shoreline photography especially rewarding. Fishing remains productive as bass and catfish stay active. Crowds are lower than summer, though weekends still see visitors. Spring also delivers comfortable temperatures for water activities. Summer heat is intense but the swimming beach provides relief. Winter brings solitude and quieter trails.
Fall cited as best season: comfortable temps, fall color and ideal campfire weather.
