HIked this trail several times. VERY busy on weekends but nice during the week. Mostly shaded in the mornings. Absolutely gorgeous views. Hike up another half mile to the east of the lake for a breathtaking view of Park City and beyond. If you are tempted to extend the hike to Dog Lake to the west, don't bother - It's not much more than a large mud hole and the trail is steep.
