With the advent of insect repellants and headnets, campers can still enjoy this most beautiful time of the season. June is also a relatively low-use time but becoming more popular. July July is the month of transition. Weather is warmer and drier, and the lakes are usually warm enough for swimming. Berry season begins around July 4th, with tiny wild strawberries, and peaks toward the end of the month or early in August with blueberries and raspberries.
Fishing is still good in most areas, and bugs are on the wane.
It is a time when most of the things people come for are available, and the area is still not very busy. We find it is an ideal time for many of our guests and recommend July dates often. It also fits into many family schedules. It is also the highest-use month, because so many find it is the best time for them. The permit restrictions do keep use to an acceptable level for most people, and there are always places that you can get away and be alone.
