Local Environmental Conditions
Around 48% of the area near Mud Lake East Campgrounds is woodland, with some open grassland and open water. Close to Mud Lake, lakeside vegetation adds to local tree pollen. Of the trees nearby, oak and maple are the ones that matter most for allergies. There is plenty of grass pollen here too.
Oak and maple lead the season in late spring, as temperatures climb to around 15°C, and tree pollen reaches its peak. Grass pollen follows, peaking in early summer and easing off by early fall. Weeds on open ground add a smaller late peak from early summer into early fall. Rain is heaviest in summer, often giving short breaks from high pollen levels.
