Thanks to the waterways, summertime is a popular time to visit Noel. The refreshing waters provide relief from the heat and humidity of summers in southern Missouri. If you don’t plan to make a splash, spring and fall are also good times to visit, as wildflowers and green leaves make their spring appearance and fall delights with the annual autumnal colors. Winter is generally cold, with occasional bouts of snow and ice, making it a less pleasant time for camping.
