Folks,
If you have a shack out on Nipissing and haven't been out in a week or so, you need to get out this weekend.
I lifted mine last Saturday about a good 8 inches. Went out last night and it was frozen to the floor boards in some spots for approx 12 ices of ice or frozen slush.
After a bit of chopping I got it lifted. One more mild spell and I would have been in big trouble.
I checked other huts in the area and some are bad. Notice one of the outfitters was pulling his shacks back to shore.

I wanted to go out the day after the storm before the minus 20 but my wife had gone shopping with the truck Needless to say its now frozen in up to the door. This is going to be work.

I seen someone pulling his hut off Callander Bay just before the rain and snow storm a few weeks ago. His big ram was working really hard and they had to shovel a lot as it kept getting stuck while pushing snow and some slush.

MNR regulates them, they will gps hut locations and numbers of huts that look like possible problem. I know a guy that let his freeze in above the floor so he burned it. Next day MNR was knocking on his door. They gave him 3 days to clean it up or face large fines.

Hi Gents, any chance of driving out with a pickup? How bad or deep is the slush? Just looking for an update on lake condition on the deep water point area. Thanks

If you follow the trail off DWP you should be OK. It’s packed pretty good. Going off the trail is probably not a great idea. I came out last night on ATV and it was fine. Mind you I have tracks. A wheeled ATV may have trouble. But if you don’t want to stray off the trail you probably will be OK.
