Lake Closing

[FishNews]

The list below shows lakes that have been officially closed by county sheriff's departments to vehicle use. Even in a "normal" winter, ice can vary greatly on the same lake. This winter is even more unpredictable, and some lakes in the central and southern part of the state have developed open water areas - despite freezing temperatures. Everyone who ventures out on the ice needs to use extreme caution, check locally before heading out on any lake and avoid nighttime travel.

For questions regarding any closed waters, please contact the local county sheriff's office.
