Meilleur moment pour visiter
Open season: May - September. June-August: Peak season with warmest weather, but expect full campgrounds — reserve well in advance. Bugs can be intense in June — bring repellent and a bug net. September: Arguably the best month — cooler temperatures, fewer bugs, stunning fall colours (especially in the hardwood forests), and thinner crowds. Shoulder months offer solitude but bring cold-weather gear.
