Snowmobiling on the lake

The speed limit is "AN ACT relative to general rules for vessels operating on water." So, if you are skimming over 45, you can get two tickets, but if on ice, you fall under the reasonable and prudent for existing conditions rule. Under the right conditions, 80 is fine. Over 120, you are probably pushing reasonability.

As for the state speed limits, Winni is not a trail.
