are they plowing out the roads to the fishing spots good enough for a 4 wheel drive?

All the resorts that charge a fee, keep thier roads good and open. Most of the time you can drive a car on them. If you plan to get off the road, that's where a 4-wheel drive is a must. It's getting to where a 4x4 won't do much off the roads. Bring a Shovel!

Went out of Adrians last weekend and the roads were awesome. 3-4 lanes wide in most areas and we went 12 miles out. There is a couple spots that tried to drift shut but the plows were staying ahead. I had a 4wd but only needed 4wd when we left the plowed road. Adrians charges $5 for access but it was well worth it.

Babbler's is only out to Gull Rock and Arneson's, and isn't very wide anymore. Long Point's road is in superb shape. Lots of big drifts out there, saw more than one person stuck, even a guy in a new chevy with chains on the tires. Wouldn't personally recommend leaving the road too far unless you got a ATV or sled, and if you do leave the road, BRING A SHOVEL OR TWO!

      Made a quick trip before the weekend rush on Vermilion.  Ice was in very good condition.  Didn't see any slush or water on any of the roads out from McKinley Park.  There are plowed roads on both side of the staked snowmobile trail coming out from the landing.  The road to the left goes out toward Birch Island, and there is a spur road going to the left (west) a couple hundred yards out.  The road on the right side goes out toward Ely Island.  There is a short spur road going east about half mile out.   The water came up under my fish house about another 1½ inches when I drilled my holes.  Looks like I will be going back up early next week to block my house up higher.  The small amount of new snow is really drifting up and adding weight.  You may get water on the ice, or find slush if you drill holes in new areas.  There is about 15% bare ice where the wind has blown it off.  Many of the drifts are very high and hard, so you could get stuck on them.   Fishing was average.  Best bites were from 9-10am and 11-1230 when I quit.  Biggest walleyes was only 16¼", then the next biggest was 13.75".  Reporting lengths in quarter inches because I can't seem to find any big walleyes.   Good luck fishing, be careful driving around, and be courteous to others.
