This hike was the day of the blizzard of 2026 before the snowstorm. It was already snowing lightly but the main snow started late in the afternoon. I took the opportunity to hike on the frozen lake and visit the islands of Lake Tiorati. I tried parking at the ice fishing parking area off Seven Lakes Drive, which is open whenever the lake is frozen. However, it was very muddy and I didn't want to get my car stuck, so I left and parked at the parking area at Tiorati Circle.
I then proceded from the northern side of the lake, near the beach, down to the main island, and then traversed the island from north to south. I then continued to the next large island, and then to the shore of the lake on the south. I then turned around and headed to the east side of the lake near the dock at the camp, and then continued back to the Tiorati Circle and back to my car in the parking area.
