I haven't heard much about Lake One as a winter entry point. Seems the entry access is plowed and would be a good place to start a trip. Is it just not talked/written about or is it not used much. If not used, what would be the reasons?

Yes, Lake One is a good entry point with the Fernberg Road plowed to the end. I have done it before.

My group has done Lake One before as well. Coming through the rocky narrow sections right before you enter the main part of the lake is a good way to start/end a trip.

It was pretty "busy" with people doing daytrips. But I don't think that is the worst thing in the world. And by busy I think we saw 4 other groups.

I am always cautious and concerned about moving water. Can anyone comment on the typical ice conditions over the moving water/narrows near the entry?

Thanks
