This is another photograph of Lake McDonald as seen from the Trout Lake Trail. There aren't too many viewing points of the lake on the trail, since the Trout Lake Trail passes through moderately thick forests - although much of the undergrowth was burned during the 2003 Robert Fire. It should also be noted that the forests you see on the front side of the lake that run down the ridge (named "Howe Ridge"), were completely burned over, trees and all. As such, the view you get from this point (which is an avalanche corridor), will be quite a bit different today.
