Add an additional hour to visit Braddock's grave and Jumonville Glen. If you are going to picnic or hike the park trails, plan additional time. Spring and summer are the busiest time of year. This is also the time when more ranger programs and services are available. Many school groups visit during April, May and early June.
Summers are generally warm, often humid with cool mornings and evenings.
In winter it is generally cold with snow possible from November through April. Layered clothing is recommended. Where to start The Visitor Center is the best place to begin your visit. The ten-minute slide presentation there is a good introduction to the park story. The ranger on duty will answer any questions you have and collect your entrance fee.
