MADISON, Wis. (DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES NEWS RELEASE) -- The Washburn County Sheriff’s Department and the Department of Natural Resources are recommending no vehicle travel on area lakes due to poor ice conditions. In the last week three vehicles have broken through the ice while traveling on Nancy, Pokegama and Gilmore lakes. All occupants of those vehicles got out safely. Anyone venturing onto the ice this winter is urged to use extra caution. 12/30/13

This coming weekend looks really great.
Spooner Lake is plowed out as far as the island and a few side "roads" as well.
