Heather Lake Snowshoe, Heather Lake — Saturday, Nov. 12, 2022

My friend and I had a bit of time that morning, so went up to Heather Lake to play in the snow!  We used Micro-spikes on a couple small steeper spots, but waterproof boots were all that was really necessary.  The parking lot was basically snow free.  The snow gradually increased to about 2ft deep or so at the lake-SO Beautiful!! The water about ¾ frozen over, but didn’t seem very think yet.  There were a surprising number of folks on the ice though!  Whew!  I’m so glad no one fell through!  Maybe is was safer than I thought it was, but seemed risky to me. . . .We took the trail around the lake to see the different views and enjoyed some snacks on the back side before heading back down to the car.  Great Little jaunt into the hills!
