Great snowshoe jaunt up to the lake, roundtrip to about 90 minutes. The climb is a workout, but remember, you only climb on the way up... it's downhill on the return! Didn't walk out on lake, but saw some tracks that were not fresh... still wouldn't take my chances, I was alone. No avalanche prone areas as far as I could tell, basically densely wooded all the way... except at the powerlines. Highly recommended. Totally doable for beginners, enjoyable for experts too.
