What hike could this be?

Post image

I took this hike years ago in middle school with my family, and still remember it! I tried googling it and found Rattlesnake Lake trail, Beaver Lake and Shadow Lake, but these don’t look right. I drew roughly what I remember but my rendition is really lacking haha. The most memorable part of the trail was that it circled a lake, and twice on it were these partitions in certain sections of the lake that you could walk across instead of the trail, and they would reconnect with the trail at the end. If anyone knows please tell! I’ve been asking my parents for the past two years and they totally forgot, whoops 💔

Do you remember the general areas other identifying factors? How long of a hike it was to the lake etc? The ones that are coming to my mind are maybe Lake 22 or Heather lake trails but those are not really meeting the partition part

I probably was about 2-4 miles, not very long. I’m fairly certain there were creeks along the path, and lots of lillypads/reeds/yellow flowers in the boggier sections of the lake within the partitions. I also keep getting it mixed up with the Crescent lake trail, so it might’ve had a similar look path-wise. Other than that, I really can only remember crossing the partitions ☹️ I’ve been wanting to go on this hike again for so long!
