The season is very long here, and each time of year has specific advantages. Spring (March-Early June) offers comfortable temperatures, great fishing, and less boat traffic. Spring is also the best season for hiking because the lake level is lower and shore access at the back of the canyons is generally easier. The chance of rain is low. Weather fronts with strong winds are most common in the spring, so be sure to get an updated weather forecast before heading out and have a contingency plan if strong winds persist. Cold water temperatures make a capsize very dangerous. A wet suit is strongly recommended from March to mid-May and may be required by office staff when difficult conditions are forecast and/or a lack of experience and skills is present. Summer (Mid June-August) offers great swimming and warm temperatures - perfect for day trips but a bit more challenging for overnight tours. Getting an early start is very important since the mid-day heat and sun can make paddling very tiring. Drink lots of water. While still an uncommon event, be prepared for heavy but generally short-lived rains, usually in the afternoon. If there is a secret season it's weekdays in late August just before Labor Day - temperatures are usually reasonable and there is a drop in boat traffic until the holiday weekend. Autumn (Sept-early November) is generally considered the best season for longer tours since the weather is warm but not hot and the water still relatively comfortable. September is still "monsoon" season, with short but intense rains possible. Weekdays see much less motorboat traffic than the weekends. Winter (Mid November - February) is only recommended for those with plenty of cold weather paddling experience and are proficient at cold water rescues. Rescue skills are mandatory. With the right weather window, day trips can be very enjoyable. Even though the motorboat traffic is light, overnight trips are not recommended since the days are short and nights are long.
