    Cabins def a mixed blessing.
    Love the place and it should be enjoyed by “people” not just anglers
    But they have tons of kayaks etc for rental and the place gets busy in summer. So probably good idea to fish it when less non anglers around.
    Magical spot though.

    Stopped by for look Monday 5/15 and was 2/3 ice free. Looked again this AM, 5/19, and ice gone but road to boat ramp not open. Free to launch carry-craft at entrance station. Looks good and the place should open up by next weekend. Check ahead.

    The lake is ice free. The boat ramp is closed still. According to park staff they hope to have things done June 5th. They are hopeful. Lots of work to do up there.

    The campground is still closed, but the boat ramp road is wide open.

    Fishing has been well!!

    The tent sites run through Recreation.gov and the NPS, are closed due to unsafe trees. Supposedly opening 06-09. The cabins are open now. WE aarre told by the store that all lake access is open. Tent site reservations that had been made for June 1- June 8 were cancelled. But repeat, the cabin sites stayed open.

    All I saw was the cabins open and the store. The campground gate was closed. Make sense. Lots of damage from this great winter we had.

    My reservations were also cancelled by recreation.gov.

    There are some USFS roads just east and west of Manzanita on 44 where you can disperse camp for free.
