Genes pond or Hardwood Impoundment

Any ice reports on either of these lakes?  A group of us are coming up the last weekend of January from central Indiana and just wanting to get a idea of where the ice is.  Last year we brought 4 wheelers up with us and then got there and realized that dragging up 3 4 wheelers was a waste of fuel.  If possible we will leave the 4 wheelers at home this year.  Thanks for the help and info in advance.

I'm not sure about Genes as far as taking vehicles but People have been driving vehicles out on Hardwood. There were a few slushy spots last week from vehicles but the ice was 9-10" at that time and should easily be at 12" or more by now. 6 mile lake just down the road from Felch had 11" Saturday and trucks everywhere. To be safe I would drive to the far end by the bridge and check activity to be safe. I never drive vehicles on ice so I'm not saying 100% your golden haha just be safe and try to get a few more opinions

Great and thanks for the help.  Looking at the forecast it may pile on some ice between now and when we come towards the end of the month.  Little warm up may just melt some snow and then when the next cold blast hits it will really thicken up!  Thanks again I really do appreciate it!

We got about 9" of wet snow the last 2 days. There's going to be some slush pockets but plenty of ice underneath. Bring a tow strap and a shovel just in case and you should be fine. Good luck and have fun. Leave some for seed.
