The Summer season is over and we are now in the Winter schedule. Because of
this overnight camping has been suspended until May 15th of next year. The
road continues to be plowed all the way to the Visitor Center and the Cafe
and day use continues.
It is usually cold at Crystal Lake and the fog can make finding your way back
to the Visitor Center difficult if you hike along the various roads within
the campgrounds.
All of the hiking and nature trails within the Crystal Lake basin have been
maintained to various degrees over the past 18 months however some of the
trails still have downed trees across them, and Winnona Trail up near Mount
Islip has places where the trail is difficult to locate.
The cafe continues to serve up hot meals with the home made chili beans with
grated cheese on top being the dish that people seem to like the most!
