Default Lake lovely water condition and jet boat contact

I am organizing a backpacking trip this coming long weekend, we will camp at sandpit if camping site around the shelter are all full(most possibly I guess). Is there anyone knows the current lake lovely water trail conditions? Is the jet boat service still available?if so, what is the current number? I tried called the number but got no response. Thank you very much for any help you might give

Somebody posted on live trails about a trip from June 11. They took the usual jet boat and said trail was pretty clear until last km before lake, which had quite a bit of snow.

I flew over on Sunday, lake was still 3/4 ice, lots of snow along the shores still. Can't help on the jetboat, we've got a canoe lined up. if you figure it out I just may see you up there!

Thanks for your info, Squamish River Jet replied and I booked for our group, I hope we can find enough available camping sites for us near the hut, we will bring our fishing equipment as well, but I don't think the fishes there are active yet since lake was still 3/4 ice last sunday

The sandbar is still covered in snow. unless you booked at the ACC Hut you'll be camping on snow. The lake itself still has a great deal of ice on it and lots of it floating around.. I was just up there assessing damage to the dock that we fixed up back at the beginning of June.

Just to add there isn't actually much snow on the northeast side of the lake. We were able to camp snow-free last weekend near the start of the trail to Alpha. Beautiful place, brutal hike in!
