The best time to go to Grouard is during the summer months, from June to August, for the most pleasant weather and access to outdoor activities.
During this period, the days are long and warm, with average temperatures often in the low to mid-20s Celsius, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty around Lesser Slave Lake. You'll find conditions great for boating, fishing, and hiking along the lake's shores. The Grouard Native Cultural Arts Museum and the historic Grouard Mission are also comfortably visited during these months.
For those interested in fishing, July and August are particularly good for catching species like walleye and northern pike in Lesser Slave Lake. The warmer water temperatures make the fish more active, and many local fishing charters operate regularly. It's an excellent time for travellers looking to enjoy the region's renowned angling opportunities.
If you're seeking a quieter experience with beautiful autumn colours, early September can also be a good option, though temperatures will be cooler.
