Safe ice??
« on: Dec 18, 2014, 05:10 PM »
Any reports from Polk, St. Croix and burnett county lakes?  Lake in St. Croix had some shacks go in after the rain.  How bad did it eat away our ice.  I am heading out tomorrow and Saturday.  Is it 4 wheeler safe.  Prior to this ran we had some good ice going....

Probably about 5 inches on most lakes.  I would not drive a wheeler out until new year's though.  Weather has been unseasonably warm.

Better to be safe than sorry.

3 different lakes since I posted this questions.  8, 10 and 11 inches of what appears to be good solid ice.  4 wheelers safe where I have been for sure.  I actually saw a truck out on the lake with 11 inches today, I left mine on shore.....

All depends what lake and where you are at. I measured 10" of ice yesterday where I was fishing.

I guess St. Croix county lakes had barely 5 inches last week and seen a pic of two shacks that went through. I believe it was on Cedar Lake??? Cold temps should help the ice this week.
