Best season: summer. Summer offers the warmest, most reliable weather for lake activities — expect daytime highs around the mid-70s to low-80s Fahrenheit and cool nights in the 50s to low-60s, making swimming, boating, and evening campfires comfortable. Both lakes are at their busiest and warmest, with full-service campground loops (hot showers, electric sites) available and most trailheads fully accessible. Expect higher weekend crowds and holiday bookings, so reserve early for July and August weekends. Peak months: July, August, June, September Avoid: November, December, January, February
Best season for lake activities; warm days, swimming and boating though beaches get crowded on weekends.
