Trailhead.
As the road is still closed from the Park Entrance, a short 4 mile hike turns into a 10 mile RT. No skis or snowshoes are required to the trailhead. Once on the trail keep the snowshoes off until you climb over a large log on the trail about 200 yds up. I went when it was warm, about mid 30's and it was a slush fest. I still sank about a foot with the snowshoes but better than not having them at all. There is still about 2 1/2 feet of snow at the lake. No navigation issues, easy to find. There is a foot bridge near the lake that could be an issue but its packed snow now and should be fine.
