Musick's Campground: We parked near the trash can area and walked down to the lakefront. The gravel path from the bird feeders to the lakefront was covered with 6-8 " of snow, ice and slush, and I didn't want to risk spraying gravel off the trail on the way back up the hill. Hopefully, this trail will be drier in a day or two.
