right up the road in three rivers MI over towards jeswinehart there is a 630 acre lake called corey lake. supposidly they have 12 inches and people have been riding all over it the last few days. If not there then there is a smaller lake closer to me which is simonton lake (like 306 acres) im not sure what there ice is like tho. I dont know if either of the lakes are spring fed or what. theres plenty of lakes around here, i just want to find a safe one

If there is 12 inches of ice you can take a pickup truck out there and not even sweat it.

John

someone posted a pic awhile back of a like new f-150 going through some ice. i think it was up in canaDUH somewhere

i figure 12 inches is way more than enough but hell i dunno. I hear about people fishing on 3 inches of ice so i figured 12 would be plenty for quads/trikes.

Diz.. stay away from any inlets and wet spots.. 12" you could land a 747 on...
Knowing the lake your rideing on is allways a plus,check with some people out there too find out how thick it is.. the shallow part of the lake will be the thickest.

i've never heard it crack like it did when we walked out there. it was every 2-3 minutes non stop. My girlfriend was freaking out

. I unloaded my 350x, did one lap to show her it was safe, came back to the truck and the POS bogged out and died. We didnt even get to unload her 400ex. I think the good ol 350 just needs the carb cleaned....hopefully.
