The best time to go to Highgate Springs depends on whether you prefer warm weather and outdoor activities or a quieter, scenic experience.For those seeking warm weather and a wide range of outdoor activities, the summer months from June through August are ideal. During this period, Lake Champlain is great for boating, fishing, and swimming, and the surrounding areas offer excellent opportunities for hiking and cycling. The days are long, and the weather is generally pleasant for exploring the Vermont landscape.If you prefer a quieter visit with beautiful scenery and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of late spring (May) and early fall (September to early October) are excellent choices. In May, the landscape awakens with fresh greenery, and temperatures are mild.
