Drive the ICE ROAD? — For the WGA Big Bay State Park Cache!
Ever thought about driving across an Ice Road? Now is your chance! Of course, this is at your own risk!
The Ice Road is now open for cars and light trucks, between Bayfield, Wisconsin of the mainland and La
Point on Madeline Island. The 2-mile road across the ice is plowed very wide and travel is
recommended at a speed of 15 mph. With the predicted cooler weather this last week in February the
conditions should be excellent!
I traveled on the road to access Big Bay State Park for cache maintenance of the WGA State Park Cache
and for several of my winter friendly caches. The current deep snow would require snowshoes or xc skis
to access the caches along the trails. If you come to cache, you could ignore the closed trail sign for the
Lagoon Ridge trail, as the bears are hibernating which caused a summer closure to this trail. I put out
one new cache which should be published soon for FTF.
See the spoiler picture posted to the WGA State Park Cache https://coord.info/GC4MPYA which should
help with your winter search. Bring something to help you dig through the snow at the fallen log.
