2020 Jan, Important Ice Condition Update

IMPORTANT ICE CONDITION UPDATE -- One day from Cuyuna Lakes Ice Fishing Contest & Scorpion Homecoming (2020), Serpent Lake’s ice surface is modestly slippery and covered by several inches of crusted snow. Going is difficult in places and slush exists in numerous areas. Ice thickness should be ample enough to handle foot traffic and snowmobiles. However, given this season’s unusual weather and freeze/thaw cycles, we are strongly recommending that trucks and trailers NOT park on the ice. Additionally, there is simply NOT enough plowed space on the ice to accommodate all trucks and trailers. Given this, please park along the numerous city streets in the area (see map) and drive your snowmobile to the display. If your snowmobile does not run, starting at the Memorial Park boat ramp, there is a modest plowed road to and from the snowmobile display area. This can be used to unload snowmobiles near the display area, and then leave the ice for parking of truck and trailer. All ice fishermen and women are encouraged to park on the shore nearby and walk with their gear to the event. As always, cleats are recommended for footwear while on the ice. -- A modest area for snowmobile swappers has been plowed on the ice along the shoreline, north of the display area. Swappers are welcome to set-up there (first come, first served). Access the swapper area from the Memorial Park boat ramp. -- As always, any and all parking, riding or walking on the ice is at your own risk. All street parking is first come, first served. Thank you for your patience and understanding. #cuyunalakes #cuyunalakescontest #scorpionhomecoming #scorpionsnowmobiles
