My boy scouts want to go hiking across Utah Lake this Saturday. I checked the ice about 50 yards outside of Lincoln Beach harbor and it was 14 inches thick. I know that Saratoga harbor is melted, and the lake is open water near the major inlets on the east side.
Are there certain other places to avoid? We were thinking more around the south end. Lincoln beach west across Goshen bay perhaps, or first to Bird Island?
I read a fishing report where a guy said his dog fell through the ice over a hotspring near lincoln beach. That sounds scary, but where we wandered around out there the other day it was rock solid.
We were thinking of taking the klondike sled, with ropes, poles, floatation devices, etc, and even wearing life jackets "just in case."
Any input would be helpful.
Thanks,
