Indian Lake
Oak Mountain Hill Climbs in Speculator this weekend! Update 12/3/14
We got a big dump of snow before Thanksgiving, then lost most of it. Indian Lake got upwards of 3 inches of snow Monday night, then melted some of it off on Tuesday. Then some lake effect snows Tuesday night. This is par for the course for late fall & early winter. There could be […]

The Indian Lake inner village trails had small studders, but the base was holding up well. Even places that are normally cooked to dirt still held a good base this evening. The Bear Trap […]
