Callander Bay ice, Walking or ATV/sleds

[squirrel761]

Hi everyone
Heading up to Callander Bay Tuesday and was wondering if it is walk out only on the bay or is the ice solid enough for a snowmobile. Don’t mind the walk, just don’t want to tow the machine up if it’s not safe. Thanks for any info.

Sleds, ATVs pounding the ice now at least in the heavy hut area. I’ve seen sleds crossing the bay itself too.

Thanks for the reply and the info. Looking forward to some time on the ice.

Noticed one SUV and 3 full size trucks venture out on the ice yesterday in C.Bay but staying to the inside of the hut ring I think. Note: seems to be slush still around especially part way out from shore a good line of it before the hut ring. Can’t say I’ve measured the ice lately but slush was pretty bad a few days ago around hut which has improved a bit now however I haven’t had re-drill holes for some time now.

Hey everyone we are heading up to callander bay feb 10th weekend. Anyone know what the ice conditions are like in the bay?

I haven’t measured recently but my hut holes started freezing over nicely yesterday and I didn’t notice any slush anymore. So things are getting better!!!

Not good ice...pulled the shack out with my truck Monday... water, slush and heavy snow punching holes as i ventured out and this ice is mixed thickness and quality
12 inches to 15 quality unknown stay safe
