Best time to visit Norbury Lake Provincial Park

July and August bring the warmest, driest weather and the best conditions for swimming and paddling the park's two lakes. The long stay program is available from May 1 to September 30 in this park, so late spring and early fall are good shoulder-season windows with fewer crowds. Snow and cold temperatures make winter impractical for RV camping, as services are not provided outside the operating season.
