How dry is Dry Lake?

Is Dry Lake already completely dry, reduced to a reed-filled mud puddle,  or still have some open water?

The lake had a lot of snow and ice on it and the surrounding area this winter (2-3 ft powdery snow). I last saw it in April and the ice was just showing a few melting spots then.

Based on the volume, I’d be surprised if it all dried already, especially as there was snow up high well into spring.

Let me know what you find out if you go, and happy hiking!

The report I received from people there over Memorial Day weekend was that Dry Lake is completely dry and (surprisingly) Lodgepole Spring is not running.

Haven’t seen for myself, so not sure how reliable.
