This is a great hike this time of year, no crowds, no bugs and comfortable temperature for hiking. The road to the trail head is paved and the trail tread is in good condition. We encountered snow on the trail about three quarters of the way along the lake on the northwest side but it was not enough to make it worthwhile getting the yak trax out. The south two thirds of the lake still has ice and the north end where Lena Creek flows into the lake is ice free.
