Finding Lakota Lake

Last weekend we had the pleasure of checking out this lovely little lake. We have found that our usual lake locations are very over-crowded this year and have been on the hunt for a kid-friendly water spot. Lakota Lake did not disappoint ... it wasn't crowded, had several spots where the kids could access shallow water for wading and swimming, had an easy hiking trail around it and best of all (for the kids), it was loaded with crawdads!
