There was open waters by the dam and the spillway. Also a little open water by Woods Creek area. Be careful if you hike down to the area as there is still a bit of snow on the ground. The Caples Lake Resort is looking to open in Mid May. The day use area is still closed to vehicles. The campground was still closed as of this week. The lake should ice off within the next couple weeks. The resort is now taking  reservations for the summer fall season.
