- Use the dedicated parking and boardwalk/interpretive trail at the site and stay on the marked path - the lake is ecologically sensitive and the boardwalk provides the best viewpoints.
- Walk the whole loop and read the interpretive panels; some of the best outlooks are off the busiest entry point and are easily missed if you only stop at the main platform.
