Deepwater Point Ramp

Hi All,

I'm hearing and reading the ramp at DW Point is a disaster. Just wondering if anyone has been able to drag their huts out of Jim Andrews storage somehow on to the lake? Have had mine in storage for 3 years now and was hoping to get up next weekend to finally pull it out but it is sounding like the ramp is not doable.
Searching for hope and/or advice and/or reality.

TIA,
Matt

It was nasty indeed last weekend. Can’t imagine it’s too much better now.

Not much ice for this time of year and aside from a night or two, hasn't been very cold. We just got hit with snow as well (more weight on top of what limited ice there is). IINM, that spot has a bit of a creek/inflow and needs cold weather to hold up to the traffic.

I have no first hand accounts, but I bet it's not in good shape.

any update on the ramp conditions? are trucks going out from there now? if not, where is the closest access to the lake for a truck? thx.

Is there enough ice for a truck?

No idea on ice since I can't get my hut out to see thanks to this.....

This was as of Tuesday, my friend said about 15 feet across.....

well that doesn't look very nice! is there another way onto the ice in the area?

I was through there on Sunday, it's about 6-8 inches deep and around 8' wide ( some areas are narrower). I had to drive my snowdog through it and other machines were jumping/driving through it. I wouldn't take my truck through it but if your towing out your hut with a sled just bring some 2x10s for the hut to slide on. It should make it there are a lot of huts out there but no trucks that I seen.

Good luck

I’ve got -30.1 on the thermometer right now. How is that creek freezing up???

My buddy and I was there last week and dragged a hut out through here. Got it stuck but a young lad with a side by side with tracks was able to help us out. Our other 2 hut we were not going through that again so we dragged them down the road to Lincs Beach. Thats the next closest access that I'm aware of.

How’s that creek now?
