The most comfortable months for a visit are typically June through September. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at E Brimfield Lake show highs around 75 to 80°F in early to midsummer, easing to about 72°F in September with lows near 52°F. South Trail and North Trail both lie about 0.1 mile away, and Mill Pond Trail is about 0.3 mile off.
