We are marked safe! Or nearly safe from water inundation.. minor water came into the ground level but luckily the owners’ suite is only needing a good vacuuming and mopping.

Thoughts to all who’ve had major damages.

Welcome to Winter Games Weekend at the Iowa Great Lakes. We wanted to take just a minute of your time to talk about Ice Conditions, We want everyone to come up and enjoy our great area and have a safe and fun time but we recommend not bringing your car or truck out on to the ice. While there are currently Ice shacks and vehicles on Smith's Bay our concern is the variable depth of the Ice, and the volume of vehicles that may end up on the ice simply from not knowing. With our checks of Ice Conditions today 1-24-2024 we found much of the bay with 12-14" of Ice but anywhere that snow had insulated the Ice we found 5-7" ice depths. These reports are echoed on all the Lakes from other Businesses and anglers from throughout Dickinson County. With the forecast this week we don't believe the ice depth will improve any and any of the snow that is on the lake will melt and you won't have any indication of where the thin ice is. It is already difficult to tell and can vary in a distance of less then 50-60 feet. The picture featured was within 60 feet of another hole that measured 14" of ice. We want to enjoy the weekend as well and don't want to have to rescue you from the icy cold waters Okoboji so please if you are going out on the ice to enjoy an event do so by foot, make sure and use the local cabs or a designated driver and enjoy the Iowa Great Lakes. Please share this post so it goes far and wide.
