The walk back to the car along the 2 trails was a nice walk again, but the birds and critters kept themselves hidden. I then drove over to the West Beach Parking lot and began walking the trail that goes around the lakes. This time, I walked the beach area first and then up and around at the back. This is the same place where I was lost in the winter.
In the summer, this is an easy walk. There are trails that are paved (or gravel) and it is easy to follow them around. So, I walked and took a few more photos.
The beach looks so much better with water in the lake 
I did not take many photos from the beach side because there were quite a few people on the sand and several in the water. Most photos were taken from the far side – across the water.

There has been a busy Beaver here 
On the other side of the path at the back is a large marsh 
The same marsh as above – looking the other direction

Now that I know the layout of the beaches, I am hopeful that I can walk this trail at any time of the year (without getting lost again). It would help if they plowed the trails – but I don’t expect they will – so I will have to depend on my own wits to get me back to where I started.
