The gate on the paved road has been closed for a few weeks. When the weather changes and clears up a little, it may open up. I talked with anglers that reported a couple inches of ice on the lake last week. The dirt road from Diamond Valley Road was open, but was a little nasty to get in. I would recommend staying away from the lake for a couple more weeks, just for safety reasons. The lake was planted back in November by Alpine County, so there will be plenty of fish. The fish will be very hungry by the time the road is safe to venture out onto.
