Have to agree with Prestige...this is a great time to still be out! You have the entire lake basically to yourself!

Normally we are still out at camp this time of year but due to certain circumstances we left mid October.

My brother in law still has his pontoon barge in the water so I will most likely take another trip out to the camp this weekend, maybe even crack a bottle of wine and light a fire in the fire pit!!

I only visit the lake one or two times a year. But two years ago my wife and I and the kids spent Thanksgiving on the lake at a hotel. I kicked myself for not bringing the boat. It was gorgeous weather, and I didn't see anyone out there. I think November is under-rated.

A lot of the local residents will tell you that the week after Labor Day is the best week of the season. The lake is quiet, the water is still warm, and the tourists have left.

Shhhhhhhh................Don't tell anyone...........

The best boating aligns almost perfectly with the best time at our camp: May 1st to July 4th, save for Columbus Day weekend, and after Labor Day, save for Columbus Day weekend.

Boating in the cold does nothing for me. This is the time of year to start getting the sleds ready for the upcoming season!!! My favorite time of year. Football, Holidays, Family, Food, and sledding!!!! By far, my most favorite thing to do. I love sledding so much, I think about it cruising in the boat across the Broads in the middle of July!! Nothing like being up in the Mountains on your sled on a nice cold, beautiful, bright, sun shiny day!! What a country we live in. So Blessed.

When you have high school fall athletes summer ends around August 15th when practices begin. After our younger child graduated and went off to college we discovered there’s a whole different feel to the lake in September and October. Some years the dock came out Labor Day weekend. We never knew it could be so good.
