The park truly comes alive during holiday weekends like Memorial Day, when families flock to the lake for celebration and recreation—expect a bustling, social atmosphere during these peak times. Keep in mind that late summer occasionally brings wildfire smoke from the wider region, which can affect air quality and visibility during your visit.
