Is the parking obvious? Ie right on 118 or is there a side road? How deep I it near the HWY I see that the lake is pretty big. Lastly, is it damned? Are there areas to watch out for think ice!

I know the locals love fishing that lake over other lakes in the area. Good luck and Post your report if you get the chance to get out.
