June through September for paddling and swimming; January through March for ice fishing. Being this far north (lat 44.868°), first snows typically arrive by mid-October and linger into early May — narrow the window accordingly.

Conditions at Lake Gloriette track the nearby Table Rock rock pillar (0.4 mi away) closely — if that is runnable, so is this.
