From Lodgepole Lake we snowshoed known tracks/routes, combined together for a 2+ hour loop.   The routes are a combination of user tracks, motorcycle trails, marshes, and forest service branch roads.    We encountered a few new fallen trees across the routes, but we just created go-around tracks.     For anyone out to find a good snowshoe route, its best just to follow stomped-in tracks while keeping your sense of direction, even in the forest.
