1 person fishing off the dock
1 young person had been swimming
Park Host said that two beavers had been coming by

The lake was frozen. There was bit of water showing at the edge of the dock near the shore. I did my testing there. Being lake is frozen no depth. There was a person out ice fishig about 150 ft from shore. They said they caught 2 small rainbow and 4 small brookies.

There is very little snow. Surprised we could drive in, a skiff of snow on the road.
The water depth was taken about 5 ft from the end of the dock, the front of the dock is under the snowy soft ice. there was snowy ice on the lake with a few open areas and a few spots around the shore did not have ice. There were two golden eye birds and 2 other gray birds.

The water is brown, which was surprise to me, it looks like silt. The water is clear about 10" in (not in depth) on the shore, then after that you can see silt on the rocks for a short bit then can only see silt, off the end of the dock you cannot see the bottom and you normally can when I have been there. There were ducks on the lake further out and small gray bird on shore. There is some ice film on the lake further out. There was a small amount of algae on the wood at end of the dock that is under the water a bit.
