I went in across from RT 94, It was fenced but you could go behind the guard rail and get to the water... Not sure you can do that today. But you could always jump the rail...that should be in the State right of way and NOT PRIVATE. The problem there is the weeds.. they drop the lake level so the weeds are touching the ice. we walked out 500 yds drilling holes looking for clear water, no luck. I took my power auger and buried it to the motor and by moving it in a circular motion cleared out an area around the hole. We caught several nice pickerel but no bass.
