DNR Reminds of Ice Safety

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is asking the public to prioritize safety when going outdoors. 

The fluctuating temperatures are affecting lake ice, making it unreliable for vehicles, UTVs, snowmobiles and fishing shelters.  The DNR is recommending citizens to carry a cell phone, wear a life jacket, use ice creepers and carry spikes and a rope.  They’re also telling snowmobilers to check trail conditions as late-season trails can be unpredictable.
