While it's the busiest time, all facilities and attractions are fully operational, and the lake is at its warmest for swimming and boating. However, be prepared for higher prices and more people.If you prefer a quieter, more reflective trip and are interested in the local culture, visiting outside of the main tourist season, such as in April or late October, can be rewarding.
