Measure ice thickness in several locations. Local conditions such as currents and water depths can affect ice thickness. White ice has air or snow within it and should be considered suspect for recreational use. The recommended minimum ice thickness for new, clear, hard ice is as follows: 3 (7 cm) or less: STAY OFF 4 (10 cm): ice fishing, walking, cross-country skiing, skating 5 (12 cm): one snowmobile or ATV 8-12 (20-30 cm): one car or small pickup 12-15 (30-38 cm): one medium truck (pickup or van)

We sincerely thank you for your cooperation.
