Miller River road is in
excellent condition to the trailhead except for the ""dip"" 2 miles short of the road end that has a gushing creek running through it. The creek bed is solid, however, and the water is fairly shallow, so no one seemed to have any difficulty getting through. Thankfully, though, there were only 4 cars at the trailhead on this Monday afternoon. The trail is in fairly good shape considering the amount of rain we have been having. So don't be surprised when you encounter the several muddy sections (at least they are short) and a few spots where there are small streams running down the trail. You'll want to take the switchbacks (after Camprobber Creek bridge) slowly, particularly on the descent, as they are a bit slick & it would be easy to fall here as the tread is quite rooty and rocky. No snow anywhere near the trail, but there is quite a bit visible on the surrounding peaks. Makes for a very scenic trip. Beyond the lake outlet, the trail is in somewhat better shape (less muddy) and passes some very scenic lunch spots. I continued on to the far end of the lake, and in my opinion, this is worth the extra effort. You encounter new & interesting views on the lake & its surroundings, and some close-up views of the several small islands. I noted only one group that was camping, and they were on their way out. All in all, a very pleasant day in the mountains, and I managed to avoid getting rained on, although the clouds looked rather threatening.
