Amazing colour in the water!

Make sure you hike up the summit (if possible), a lot better view and no crowds compared to the viewpoint.

Any listing of specific date that the Lake will be closed for renovations?! I have a group traveling there on Friday, August 16 and am hoping that mid-August means later than the 16th? Any idea of "real" closing date? If it does close is it possible to at least look at it from some point?
