Great East was still wide open on Jan 6. It is now has a covering over the whole thing. The shores have been frozen since mid Dec. If you’re not familiar with the lakes I would check with the ice fisherman first. I would think that they have to be close to being safe
The other lakes are probably in the same boat. I know that Great East is almost always the last to freeze.

Road across pineriver,balch,and province lake yesterday, didn't see any open water looks good and trails where just groomed. On province next to 153 beach someone plowed the ice about a 100 yards long. Just be careful of the snowpiles they made if riding at night.

Thay's where they set up a snomo dragstrip every year. Sometimes they plow one 90 degrees to that also.
If you're not the lead dog the view never changes.

Went from Milton to Poor Peoples Pub tonight with the family. It's officially winter now that we can cross the lakes.

Use to ride Great East back in the 70's 80's.. Rule of thumb was never cross till at least the last week in Jan.
You need to know the lake. My good friends had a camp there and his dad was the expert on where was safe.
He has long since passed and was the one who got me into sledding way back.
RIP Archie
