The Trails & The Ice

Winter seems to have finally arrived here in central Wisconsin.  A few inches of snow have fallen, but it’s not quite enough to make for great skiing or snowshoeing yet.  Not to say that folks aren’t giving it a go!

Meanwhile out on the lake, as of this morning (12/18/2012), I did see a few fisherman who just couldn’t wait any longer. Still, those with fishing shanties and trailers are still clinging to the shoreline. Not a bad idea as it was in the 50s just a few days back! Keep in mind that the park staff does not monitor ice conditions and you’re out there at your own risk.  The Wisconsin Department of  Natural Resources does offer a lot of good information about ice fishing in Wisconsin however, click right here to head over to their Wisconsin Ice Fishing Information Page.
