[cool][#0000ff]Attaching a map of the north marina. The "boat channel" is not very long but it is the narrow opening between the marina and the lake. During mild winters that channel does not freeze as thick as either inside the marina or the open lake further out. But it is the only legal access point for motorized transportation out onto the ice.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The south marina has been closed to winter access for the past few years. They left it open on a trial basis last year but could not justify the expense of patrolling it and maintaining it during a time when State Park budgets are tight.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]If you have a wheeler or snowmobile there are definitely some spots on the west side that would be better to reach that way than driving around and trying to go up over the dike. That perimeter road is a killer at best. And snow levels can be problematic.[/#0000ff]
