Cold water is a constant at this site year-round, so a drysuit or a thick wetsuit with hood and gloves is strongly advisable rather than optional. Check locally for current facility availability before you arrive, as on-site amenities are not guaranteed.
From the parking lot, take the narrow, zigzagging path leading to the shore. The path is steep, slippery when wet, and tiring on the return.
