Report: Great hike around the lake. See from 0 to 5 people. We take our dogs and they love the hike plus cooling with a swim. Picnic tables are great for a lunch break and the boy scout benches are regular enough for rest breaks. Beautiful walk.
Conditions: Snow, red-dirt mud, lots of fallen trees and branches.
Water Availability: We take our own water.
