This lake is so wonderful. Going for a hike along the Welcome Lakes Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this region, and let's not forget Battle Creek which is a stream that you may encounter while you're here. All the water falling down from the sky makes West Lake a wet place; most of the rain falls during December while July is typically the driest month.
