I haven’t heard much out there this winter. There’s lots of snow up there right now, I know the ice is fairly decent. As of a few days ago there was no plowed roads on burntside most are going out with sleds. There is a few on snowbank however.

I was on Burntside this afternoon and at least at the Van Vac landing there is no plowed road. In fact nobody has plowed the lower parking lot. You can not drive down there unless you want to get stuck. However I was out on my snowmobile and getting around on the lake in the open areas is pretty easy. If I find out anything else I will post it.

The only plowed road is of the wolf lake road. Doesn't go out to far was like 12 houses out on the lake weekend I was out. If pulling a house the boat landing access there has a pretty good hill going in and out  makes it interesting going out as the road is little narrow  on and off the lake  fished 40 feet of water got nothing hoping to give it a shot again next week house is still on the lake lots of snow and lots of slush 2 weeks ago couple of nights below 20 hopefully will improve things snowmobile and portables seem the way to go this year almost forgot was 15 inches where we put the house

We fished off that plowed road yesterday. Didn’t get a fish. Graphed some but they acted like tulibee on the graph

I haven’t seen Burntside this winter at all and probably won’t at the rate things are going.  I miss Ely.  Thanks for the reports.

Missed this post.  Did you hear if it was right by their access?  A couple years ago I HAD to come off the lake there and broke through some myself.  I knew I was going to - that was the bad part.  Soon as I dropped I gave er the berries and got out OK.  Was this time of year too.

No, I don't know where it happened but my guess would be that it would be near there access.

Wow that must of been a pretty crazy breaking through ice on that lake. Glad you got out without any problem.

Dropped through first layer to second layer of ice and got stuck were driving out from  burntside lodge on plowed road  have moved road some no problems good solid road buddy came from  up by lake of the woods last weekend one ton dually pulling his ice castle  went out from the lodge road caught 5 lakers on friday not sure how they did on Saturday

Sounds like the same situation I experienced further out on their road.  Plowed, then flooded and refroze with a double layer of ice - almost a foot difference between the tops of the 2 sheets.

There is no plowed road out of Van Vac yesterday but at least 3 vehicles drove out on the lake from there.  Did see quite a few vehicles out from Burntside Lodge but don't know what the road situation is there.
