    Great hike with not a lot of people can swim on a hot day or not so hot. Quiet and peaceful. Some campsites outline the lake but plenty of room to have own space.

    Beautiful forest hike through older trees. A gradually ascending trail in most parts that is well maintained. A very picturesque lake from the right spot. As with most mountain lakes, there are a few small mosquitos. The access road has deep potholes, but is passable.

    Hiked mid Nov. 2021 on a dry day. There were lots creek crossings that you will have to find a way across using rocks or logs. There were several spots where the trail itself was full of running water as well. I did not go all the way around the lake, because other hikers warned it was very muddy. There's a beautiful view of Mt. Hood from the lake!

    Have made the hike in both ways, North and South. The view from the top of East Zigzag Ridge above the lake is inviting. Had years of Fun up there, so many wonderful people were about, clothed and Unclothed.

    Great one day hike. There’s an opportunity for overnight camping at the lake too.
