Could try calling Woodland. I am not sure. Hoping to explore Sunday or Monday too.

I haven't been out there since before the last storm. We were out behind pops then and travel was difficult with fourwheelers. After the last snowfall I wouldn't bet on being able to pull a house out there. The access was just fine but a few hundred yards out the snow was about a foot deep.

I'm no help on other parts of the lake though.

This...I am sure you could get on there and haul it over to the golf course area or follow the west creel bay shoreline south to rocky point, possibly even to towers. Haven't been out that way but if the ice is thick enough I am sure the woodland gang have been plowing. You just might have to pony up a few bucks to get on their lake access. Like the V man says tho...give them a call to check it out.

From what I have seen in my two quick journeys is there is no way in hell I would try to drive a truck or anything with wheels. I don't like being stuck! Not only is the snow deep but I was seeing quite a bit of slush on 6 mile.

I have been out.

Some trucks getting around. I would not chose to own those vehicles after the abuse I have seen. Some Ice Castles being pulled around as well. Again, I see some repairs needed as well.

I would not recommend it at this time. I also have not seen that Woodland has been able to get the big plow rig out yet but havent been around Creel Bay for awhile. I believe with this wind and recent fresh powder and 45 mph winds that behind Pops would be a no-go.

Got news last night they have been able to get paths out, but there is alot of slush pockets out there. No recommendation for a pickup.

There is a road plowed out of woodland. Off trail doesn't look like a good idea in a truck. And it's still slow!

Very slow. Sitting out on creel bay now. Access is iffy.. 4 wheels are able to drive on the crust without much problem. Pickups sink. You can still get out but your going to have to stick along the main paths.

Creel bay always seems to be the dead sea whenever I've fished it. Mobility is a huge challenge right now, basically need tracks to go anywhere to explore
