Conestoga Lake

This lake was drained for several years. It is now filling up to a fishing lake again. There is a path now from the North side to walk around the West side. It is not finished. About half a mile is useable for any hikers, the rest of the way to the far jetties is a muddy field which will be a mess in the rain. You cannot get around it, it will be a large mowed grassy field eventually. At the far end you get this:


When the water fills up more, you cannot hike to the South side. It will resemble the North end of wagon train lake. There is a short path on the South side, accessed by gravel road, as well. Looking back to the parking lot, it looks like this:


That will flood as well. Some brush and trees remain on the shore. We will have a bit more access to woodland birds on the trail. I have marked the trail in black. Mudflats are very few.
