Just a word of note re the thickness of ice.In November things got real cold. All lakes in our area froze over early.Then it warmed up dramatically and the wind picked up. A lot of lakes lost their ice in December. Bowers was one one of them LacDesRoche too.Sheridan, for the most part, kept it's ice. Bowers only got its ice back only on December 29th. Be careful if traveling from lake to lake on snowmobiles.
2 snowmobiles went through the ice at Lac Desroche this last week. Both got out ,but were treated for hypothermia.tk
