Fun day of snowshoeing on Bead Lake Trail.
Directions to the trailhead were spot on. The road was pretty much snow/ice covered after turning onto Bead Lake Rd. Bead Lake Rdg Rd was blocked by a big snow berm, so we took Bead Lake Dr and parked in front of the locked gate to the boat launch area. There were several vehicles already there.
The road and trail were completely snow covered, so we opted for snowshoes right from the start. It was a good choice. After getting down the road, the trail was easily found at the end of the boat trailer parking area. There's a kiosk there with trail info.
This was our first time on this trail, so it was nice that a few others had been on it in the past couple of days. Even still, the trail was easy to follow and was clear other than a few blowdowns that were simple to step over. Also, besides the four fisherman out on the ice, we were the only ones there.
Go Play Outside!
