Reviewed 2026-10-23. Source review, not a field inspection or same-day all-clear. Active owner notice still lists East Lawther–Winsted trail closure for wastewater works. September 2026 forecast is not verified reopening. This northern selection avoids that southern section and does not promise a complete lake loop. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
