Drill and measure, drill and measure, drill and measure - there simply is no other way.

Yes it was a serious question. There are many threads of people asking thickness but none asking how it is done. Some of the answers even include how deep the lake is in the spots that were tested. As ishoot308 noted, knowledge of the area would be the answer to that question.
If you go back and read my OP you will see that I do not enjoy playing on the ice, but on occasion I do find myself on it.

I actually did not suggest that, but my google search did yield some results of devices that can in fact measure thickness of solid materials. They are quite affordable too. I was not sure if anyone was using something like an Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge.
Sorry if my post upset you.
