Norfork Lake Seasons - We enjoy them all with you |
Any time of year there's outdoor recreation in the Ozarks. We have
four distinct seasons yet winters are mild. Many guests know that summer is full of
possibilities, but even more are amazed to learn what they can do all year. If you find
yourself in need of some outdoor recreation, give us a call regardless of what time of
year it is.

Winter
Winter is an excellent time to hike, conduct nature photography efforts, track bird
migrations, and explore Ozark geology. Fishing is also very good. Snow in the Ozark
Mountains is common but unlike in northern areas it rarely accumulates to more than 3 to 6
inches deep. Snow usually melts completely in 3 to 10 days. The ground is bare most of the
winter season. Temperatures are usually above freezing during the day and nights rarely
get colder than 20 degrees. Cold snaps do occur and temperatures will get down to 10, or
even 0 degrees. Yet most winter days are in the upper 30's to upper 50's. The coldest
weather normally occurs in late January or early February. The heaviest snow storms tend
to occur in late February or early March when as much as two feet of wet heavy snow may
fall. November and December are the best months for most "leaves off"
activities.
