We are temporarily not allowing permanent fish houses through our access. Currently, the access will remain open for snowmobiles, ATVs, side-by-sides, cars and trucks so you can get to your fish house or go portable fishing. Please drive slowly to keep the road in as good of shape as possible. Some areas of the road have less water, but expect several inches of water in stretches of the road past Waconia Bay, especially on the way to Pillsbury and into Wagener’s Bay. We have lath board and flagging tape marking some of the holes that have popped open in the road and are bleeding water because of all of the weight on the ice. Those areas are why we have limited what we are allowing through our access, and may close the access all together if things get worse. We need a good hard freeze to heal up these areas. We do not expect it to happen quickly. It’ll probably take a few nights of low teens to single digit temps for things to improve.
