Ice conditions can vary widely.
Visitors are advised to use extreme caution when venturing onto the ice. The bicycle trail and the roads in the closed day use area are open for cross-country skiing. There are also steeper hiking trails in the environmental study area. This could lead to the deterioration of lake water quality and have adverse impacts upon aquatic habitats. High levels of nutrients entering the lake, particularly phosphorus, encourage excessive growth of algae.
