TuscaroraBorealis	12/01/2020 05:21PM   Getting close... I didn't investigate too thoroughly but, I would surmise about 3 inches. However, there were still open spots at various points around the lake.

MN_Lindsey	09/11/2020 06:45PM   After regularly hiking 12-15 miles per day on the Superior Hiking trail, could one do this loop in a day, or is it really best served on an overnight?
TominMpls	12/02/2020 07:09PM   MN_Lindsey: " Oh the Lake Walk.... Start: This is amazing!!! Why does everyone hate the lakewalk? ... Final: I hate that effing Lake Walk" Hahaha, I just saw this, it's so accurate.
TominMpls	09/13/2020 08:35PM   A strenuous but not especially long day. In August this year I averaged about the same pace per mile on the Angleworm as I did last year on the segment of the SHT from the 270 overlook to Grand Marais (excluding Lakewalk).
BearBurrito	09/14/2020 10:21AM   Definitely doable as a day hike, but it's such a beautiful hike I like to spend at least one night out.
TuscaroraBorealis	11/28/2020 10:08AM   Day hiked the Angleworm Lake trail for some black Friday exercise. The Echo trail was buzzing with activity as most of the trailheads had multiple vehicles parked in the lots. There was a fresh dusting of snow on top of the existing 3-4 inches in the woods. It appeared that someone had pulled a toboggan across just prior to my entry. The trail was in excellent shape, as the only real concern was a few sections of the elevated boardwalk (at about the midpoint of the portage) that was in disrepair. No serious problem getting across but, the rotted wood in a few spots tests a persons confidence in the structure and will become a real issue in the very near future. As mentioned, I followed a fresh toboggan track the entire distance. It was kind of surprising at the junction of the trails that, while the toboggan headed west towards the lake, there were multiple other individual tracks heading off towards Trease Lake etc. Lots of people in the woods! I walked down to the lake and traced the shoreline to the nearest campsite there. The lake was completely froze over but there appeared to be a line that wasn't quite sealed up. By this time most of the cloud cover had pushed off so, the distant snowy shorelines glistened with the mostly unobstructed illumination of the quickly descending orb in the sky. Not wanting to intrude on the people I presumed were camping, I returned from whence I came. Thankful for the experience. Great day to be in the woods.

Oh the Lake Walk.... Start: This is amazing!!! Why does everyone hate the lakewalk? next: This is still so cool, people are seriously overreacting next: This is verifiably nice... I wonder how long it is... next: Hmmm... next: Um... I mean, it was cool, but I think, um, is that the turn? next: When will it end? next: Make it stop next: for the love of God next: ughhhh!!!! I just want the woods Final: I hate that effing Lake Walk
TominMpls	12/01/2020 02:39PM   Beautiful! Looks like a good time. I assume the ice isn't thick enough to be reliable right now?
