Took the Pacific Crest Trail in around 8 am, some snow still covering the trail at a few points, but for the most part a very easy hike into the lake. Lots of mosquito so definitely bring the bug spray. The trail is in good condition and easy for pretty much any level of hiker.
The lake itself was beautiful plenty of open area and lots of grass to sand beach areas to rest and spend some time enjoying the water. Went mid week, was still quite a few people on the trial and around the lake, to be expected with current restriction keeping some from normal day to day activities.
Took the Naches Peek Loop out, great scenery, a lot more people on that trial than the Pacific Crest, but it was also mid-afternoon by then (1:30 pm). Trail was in great condition any person of any age or shape can manage it with breaks if needed.
