Lake Shetek

Update, Tues, 0900, Troy from Key Largo Restaurant on Lake Shetek, Slayton MN just called, one can definitely skate on the lake… plan to have it sailed late morning tomorrow… 2 - 2:15 hours west of Lake Minnetonka.

Good luck with Lake Shetek

Thinking along the same lines, I did 8 miles on Lake Shetek February 16. I generally like rough ice but that was brutal. Without the drifts, maybe a 24 grit. A lake cabin resident was nice enough to come out and tow me and my broken equiptment back to the car.
