At this time all snowmobile trails and ice roads in the park have been closed, and stakes have been removed. Ice conditions near pressure ridges, sand bars, and shorelines are dangerous, please take extra caution if you are in these areas. Park staff will be no longer monitoring ice this season. This has been a particularly challenging winter season for travel on the ice, and we appreciate the patience and good judgment our visitors and local community members have shown. We are hoping for a safe, cold, and snowy winter next year!
