I usually go 3rd or 4th week of June with no problems---have been 2nd week of July and it;s kinda busy,but still rooms available , probably input from kel03 is your best bet on advice.

July 4th fabulous fire works show over the falls. We were there last year. It was not very busy for that time of year.

I prefer in winter, when everything is froze up...... Canadian side in a falls view room.......may not be the best time for riding up though, unless you have ski outriggers.......lol.....

He may have heard about June bugs. In the early summer they can be bad at night around lights, they don't bite, they're harmless , I don't know what it is but hoards of them show up like every 6-7 years.
And in May I'd worry more about igloo runoff. lol

We went the last week of July two years ago.No Bugs and Tourism wasn't that bad. We rode from Cape Cod through the Catskill mountains to get there. And through the Adirondacks home. Incredible ride. Ended up being a 2300 mile round trip. Don't waste your time on the New York side of the falls though. . Enjoy!
