I'm just guessing, but most of the alpine lakes are icing up and while this one is a bit lower, it is in shadow during the warmest part of the day, which is the afternoon and I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't starting to ice up. I haven't been able to find out if the road is closed yet, but if we get some precip this weekend, I think this lake is done for this year. If you live near Wells, might be worth a quick trip but if you are coming from Elko or further, it probably isn't worth the trip.
