Dangerous Ice Report - Vehicles/People Going Through The Ice

(1/4) > >>

cleveland:
Sharing news on vehicles or people going through the ice may help keep other fishermen on the right side of the ice.

Petenwell Lake - This happened at Longview point on Petenwell. I have heard the current sweeps right past this point which creates a heave every year there.







Stay safe out there!

Jeffro:
I can’t read the FB post... ice that thin that far north? I would’ve thought ice is all good up that way. Spring fed lake? Recent warm spell??

cleveland:
Looks like they took the video down. I know there was a lot of critiquing of the towing companies removal process, I imagine it got ugly...

I posted pics in the original post. Not sure if the cause was weak ice at the heave or thin ice due to current, but the truck went in.

Petenwell is a flowage always current running through it. Like any flowage type river system you better know where the current areas are. Flowage are always scary to me trying to drive a truck on. I will stick with a snowmobile on flowages.

Yep. Just a wide spot in the Wisconsin River. Better know what you're doing...
