Plowing the Lake

Island Girl · 02-23-2007, 05:28 PM

Please do not plow roads across the lake. It makes very hazardous conditions for those on snowmobiles and ATVs. At night the banks that you create may not be visible... and on those days in which the snow all looks the same, these banks are impossible to see and could cause a serious accident. It is very difficult in some cases to cross over the banks.. If it rains on them, they become an impassible brick wall for the rest of the season.

I am also concerned that the piling up on snow on the ice could cause the ice to crack and create slushy areas... see link..

Anyone else want to weigh in on this???
