Green Turtle Pond access

[briansnat]

I know the access road to Green Turtle Pond is in lousy shape any time of the year, but do they keep it open in the winter? If it is kept open do you  think something like a Subaru Forester can make it after the sort of snowfall we just had, or is it serious, off road capable 4WD only?

i wouldnt use anything but a 4 x 4 the forester is all wheel not 4 x 4

I drove that access rd in November on a dry day with a Chrysler Van front wheel drive big mistake could not go faster than 3 to 5 mph weaving big holes.
You may have a little more ground clearance with a Subaru but with snow you will get stuck. Isn't all wheel drive the same as 4x4.

Tom, when I saw your name it reminded me of Evil Knievil, I wondered what he would do to get up that road( if alive) half motorcycle half snowmobile machine with ice fishing sled in tow.

i always bring a set of tire chains just in case..i cant figure out that place...i know not every trout was caught plus winter stocking..in the spring you can slam crappie. but during ice i cant catch a cold.

I was at GTP today. Had a few flags but only caught  1 fish, a fat 18 inch Rainbow. Saw someone else bag a trout about the same size, and a few people I spoke with landed a perch or two. Fishing was pretty slow for everyone it seemed.
