Ice Report - Spring Park Bay, Lake Minnetonka> Starting Saturday 1100
US 4824 made an inspection this morning, report taken by phone.
The bay was completely frozen Monday Morning. He bored several holes all were 4"+ in thickness, clear ice.
Out in the main bay it's like glass.
Caution: this bay is unsailed, has a pressure ridge which customarily develops and has gotten people wet in the past.
Sailing beginning 1100 Saturday Dec 9. Primary Launch Site, Spring Park Public Landing. Spring Park Bay Launch Site Map
Alternate site, 4824's Mom's place where several boats can be parked overnight, note it's a schlep to the ice from the road there.
That is all
Think ice!

Spring Park Ice
I am set up on spring park bay and have just got back in off the ice.
It is between 6"and 8" thick. I have the bouys and will be checking the rest of the bay and setting a course up shortly.
Should be an Epic day of sailing.
Where you all going?!
Someone make the call. Spring Park Bay or Cottagwood?

Spring Park
It's only 4 minutes from my house, so I vote the 10+ black ice of Spring Park. May even get Brigham out? Plus with a SW breeze, perfect angle to sail in/out. I will be there at 10:30.
