There is always something to do (hiking, skiing, kayaking) any time of the year or you can do nothing and just enjoy nature as well.
What an amazing park! I went at peak fall, the views were amazing and during the week there weren't that many people on the roads.
I stayed in one of the otentiks at the campground for two nights and it was awesome. my only gripe about it was that firewood wasn't supplied for the price that we had to pay, because it was cold we went through quite a bit of wood.
The park is beautiful. Great for motorcycling - Wapizagonke campground is up 5-10k of winding mountain roads. Be careful in the winter or at night, there are plenty of blind corners. ????
Prices are decent, although you do have to pay a daily fee for each person in the group. I didn't see much to do in the park besides camp, but I believe they have hiking trails as well. Some wonderful viewpoints along the road to take photos.
Beautiful park with many trails to choose from with different levels of difficulty. Be sure to pick up a map at the entrance, I find it helps. Make sure to bring plenty of water (or at least bottles so you can fill them up at the entrance). We went at the beginning of September and it was not to hot and there was not a bug to be seen. Very pleasant, fun, wholesome day. Can't wait to go back!
