Sorry - I haven't been there to scope it out at this time of year. Since it is a dry winter, the likelihood of parking is good since there was less snow to move away. Also, there is more likelihood that many areas are easier to walk to for good photos and/or painting.
Forecast: At this time they are talking partly cloudy and mild temps for the lake
What to bring:
- camera
- painting gear
- drinking water and snack or lunch
- Money for paid parking area if that is all there is available
- cell phone
- chains for your car? Maybe not necessary, but you should have in car
- winter clothes and layers, gloves, waterproof snow boots or hiking boots, warm hat
- brim hat for sun, sunglasses, sunscreen
- Snow shoes and poles?????
Hazards: In shaded areas there will be ice! Please tread carefully.
What you will see to paint:
