| Hike Summary: | It is spring, April, but it snowed the day prior. Snow was still on the ground. The lake was frozen. However, its winter beauty still emanated. Sea gulls were flying and hanging out on the frozen lake. It was a very easy and fun walk on a COLD day. The trail is situated along the Ice Age Trail. It was incredible to find such beauty and peace in a wintry-spring weather. |
