Interesting drive in the dark to get there and well worth it. The small arm is the easiest part to access and it was frozen solid with thick smooth ice. Fantastic skating. Able to skate the whole arm (avoiding the stream inlets!) and crossed to the far side entrance to the main lake on a tongue of ice with water on both sides. Open water prevented me going any further but there were sheets of ice over many parts of the lake. Great to skate in a new place with such good ice. Hard to leave! On the way I out checked out a few spots and couldn't resist a skate on Deep Creek.

Very cool! I'd been wondering for a long time whether it was possible to skate there too. I'd discussed the possibility of hiking in there with Dave Patchett, but never got around to doing it.
