Last weekend the ice thickness was around four inches, but there were spots that were thinner. Give it at least another week, and two weeks would be better, before heading onto the lake depending upon the weather.

There is some pretty solid ice around the boat ramp, and the extended forecast calls for continued lows in the single-digits to low teens. We expect to be closing the ramp for the season in the coming days, as it appears the ice is
