Check the ice as you go

Recent weather, including high temperatures, rain, and wind, has degraded ice conditions in some areas, especially around shorelines and lake access points. If you plan to head out, make safety your top priority. Still have a shelter on the ice? Make sure you’re ready to meet upcoming removal deadlines.
