Snake Lake is suitable only for the adventurous
paddlers, who enjoy desolate lakes that have
primitive camping facilities. I would strongly
recommend paddling and camping here with a
companion due to its remote nature and lack of
people in the vicinity. You’ll most likely have
the entire lake and small campground for
yourself.
Paddling on this lake can be rather annoying
because the water shield plant, floating on
the water surface, wraps around your paddle
blade like a giant octopus. There are a few
campsites are directly on the lake, which
isn’t entirely a good thing because you are
utterly terrorized by mosquitoes. The lake
harbored an entire orchestra of frogs, and a
flock of geese.
During drought conditions, the lake’s water
level dries up. Also, driving in a
four-wheel drive vehicle would be more
appropriate if you want to travel to Smith
Lake. Drive under 15mph crossing over the
Snake Lake Bridge. Heavy vehicles are not
advised to drive across the bridge until it
is repaired.. The superstructure of the
bridge was coded as being in a serious
condition, indicating deterioration affecting primary structural components.
Snake Lake is an out-of-the-way destination,
and to
 make matters worse is the catch
rate isn’t very high, perhaps due to the
overgrowth of the water shield. You’ll end
up hooking more water plants than you will
fish.
