I went up to the lower lake after work. Despite several cars at the trailhead, I only ran into three or four parties. Enjoyed a snack at the rock overlooking the lake. Some bugs discovered I was there, but they weren't much trouble, especially considering I was lakeside at 7 p.m.
The trail is in good shape, if dry and dusty at times (and a touch muddy at others).
The trailhead privy is relatively clean and well stocked. I wish people wouldn't pile up their bags of dog poop outside it, though. If you're taking the responsibility of hiking with a dog, packing out their poop is your responsibility, too, if there's no garbage can.
