The best time to visit Nett Lake is during the summer months, from June to August, and the early fall, in September.
Summer offers the warmest weather, with average temperatures in the 70s Fahrenheit, making it ideal for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and exploring the natural surroundings. The lake is fully accessible, and the opportunities for wildlife viewing, particularly for spotting the wild rice, are at their peak. This period is especially good for families looking to enjoy the lake and its recreational offerings.
Early fall, specifically September, provides a beautiful transition with cooler temperatures and the vibrant colors of autumn foliage. The weather remains pleasant enough for outdoor activities, and the crowds begin to thin, offering a more tranquil experience.
