Parking – all 3 spots ! – were full at our usual Somers walk spot (Rails to Trails) so Plan B – a small area just south of Somers. It is actually a public swimming area but there is a connection to a bike/walk trail as well as a bit of beach away from the swimming area.

I didn’t realize, though, that the winter lake level meant that this area was also high and dry.

I thought Karl would be ready to run out on the exposed sand and planned on walking to the island…

But he stuck to the “shore”.

While hazy, it was nearly 50 and he got warm and stuck to the partially shady beach area.

Summers in Somers shows a bit of what this area looks like in the summer.
