I used to go here before the fires closed it for a couple years. We went back summer 2023 and there were big downed trees on the trail that took a lot of effort to get over. Couple that with the fact you are already walking in all of your things at least 1/4 mile to 1/2 mile, and it was a hard setup and breakdown. The lake has no real "beach" or place to sit on the edge other than tree stumps. Not worth the effort IMO.
