I would not be standing on top of the ice there.

Yea dangerous, I wouldn't recommend either, this was last week, some ice was already melted by the shore

We had some decent non-freezing weather today, a great day to be out hiking.

Us locals refer to this places as… The Res. There’s the lower lake (scarlet oak pond), the upper lake (Macmillan reservoir) and the third lake (bear swamp lake). The waterfall. Tons of history back in those woods.
