First time hiking this trail and can see why it's so popular - good for beginners, or beginning the hiking season.
Trail is beautiful and in good shape until the last third or so, which still has some snow (and mud where the snow has recently melted). Trail should be snow-free soon.
Lake itself still has a lot of snow, but people (and there were a good number!) were having fun playing around and could still get around the lake and find places to sit, picnic, and bask in the sun.
No special snow equipment necessary, though poles or traction gear could be useful for some. Easy to access, lots of kids and dogs.
