Mantua is too crowded to ride for fun... Plus with the springs and open water spots you will want to be careful on a sled there... I expect there is probably enough ice there to take a snowmobile out now, but be courteous to the other folks fishing there and don't make any unnecessary noise... Or you might catch the wrath of a village of pissed off ice fishermen... If you want to go ride find a spot other than the lakes where folks are trying to talk fish into biting.. If you do take it out, find a spot and shut it off, even the power augers seem to tighten the lips of the fish for a while... Sorry I've had bad experiences with people on sleds, wheelers and such on the ice and I'm a little touchy on such subjects... The guys that take kids out fishing and then let them ride their machines all day and don't tell them to stay away from where others are fishing is a big pet peeve of mine... Later J
