are trucks driving on mallets bay?

I'm thinking I might like to drive out through mallets bay to the main part of the lake, never done it though. Is the snow to deep? Are there any regular pressure cracks in that area?

I spent most of Saturday getting folks unstuck with my truck.  I received a bunch of free beer that day.  The inner mallets bay with the marinas is navigable but the plow egdes will burry a truck easy.  Breaking out to the main bay I wouldn't suggest, the winds are much higher and wind drifts as big as 3 feet or more come up on you blind and get you stuck fast.

When you say main part of the lake do you mean the broad lake?

Could be broad lake, Im talking about the area where the lamoile dumps in south of the sandbar, south and west of there. Do you know what the conditions and ice are like down there? Access by wheeled vehicle? lookin for new water to cover

Wes, I'll text you a pic from Navionics where I think you'll have a better chance of getting on instead of Mallett's boat launch.
Not sure if you rememebered me telling you I went there on Saturday and realized that all the trucks plowing were for the ice rally race track, and I realized I set up fishing right in their "parking lot" right next to the track area.
You may want to stay away from that part of Mallett's as I understand they race every Saturday.

I think I'd go on at Sandbar if I was heading out to the mouth of the Lamoille.  It's closer and it looks like there have been quite a few vehicles heading that way from the launch.

Wes, I'll drive over to Sandbar on way home from work tonight and see if I can give you any details for this weekend, text you later.

There's usually a good pressure crack that runs across from lamoille river way to south hero. Is it there this year?

[mudchuck]

Cheryl, I think it is there but hard to see from shore with the snow on top.

Thanks Rick!
