Went by yesterday , there was a trailer parked there , so I assume somebody was out on the lake with some kind of machine.
That ramp gets the direct sun  and a lot of use so may be over for the year there.

Getting on in the am, probably not an issue but getting back off could be challenging. Fished Moose Pond today we had over a foot, probably 15” of ice under us and we were out a couple hundred yards. No issues getting on at the launch but the walk back was slushy and we both stepped through at the launch on our way out. Risky man, be careful out there.......no ride is worth losing your life over

You live in Lebanon? have you considered Mousam or a more local lake for the weekend? I'm guessing Mousam is good on foot in most places providing you're carefull. Probably there or Little O on Saturday. Let me know if you've heard different. Each has some good spots by foot.

+1 on little o
I love the variety in Little O, but very slow fishing. Even with lifting the line limit, I saw two fishless days this season, didn’t even see anyone going for flags.

Little O is 5 lines now, not just for cusk at night? I did not know that

Correct.  5 lines allowed on Little O at all times, not just for cusk.  Have only fished it twice this year and would also say that I've seen less action there than normal, even with 3 more lines working...
