there is 17 to 18 inches of ice right now but oddly this year there is a large amount of water on the lake in the middle. a guy was stuck there for 7 hours the other day. So no to many people have been venturing accross the the other side. The fishing to the left of the launch about 500 yards to the left and 300 yoards out is also wicked in the winter.
