President William Jefferson Clinton Birthplace Home National Historic Site in February

Roughly 4% of the park's yearly visitors come in February: about 310 recreation visits in a typical year, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 2011 to 2025.

That makes February the 11th-busiest of the park's twelve months, sitting between the July peak (1.7×) and the January low (0.4×).

On our Best Time to Visit score February rates 57/100 ("Fair"). Our recommended month is October: pleasant weather with noticeably thinner crowds (shoulder season).

The daily average of about 46°F is cool, so layers and a shorter daylight window matter. These figures are 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals from the nearest station, about 3.7 miles from the park.

Because June, July and August together draw about 36% of annual visitors, choosing February instead steps outside that summer crush — the single biggest lever on how crowded the park feels.

You'll have about 10.8 hours of daylight in February to explore — between the 9.8-hour midwinter low and the 14.2-hour summer high.

Park-wide, 2024 drew 6,215 recreation visits, up 23.7% from 5,024 in 2023.

Across the past decade overall visitation has eased about 37.1%, so February may feel a touch quieter than it once did.
