I spoke with Patrick today from Magee Marsh Wildlife Administration office. To help clear up some confusion. Patrick stated that they are allowing motorized vehicles to access the beaches but request/expect everyone to use designated trails they are marking. They are removing the existing signage and replacing them with designated trail signage.

As far as ice conditions? Caution is the key component. The winds did do some damage. Hard to tell where the cracks are but Patrick also fishes and he stated that there is a crack a mile offshore but it is passable.

Good Luck and Good Fishing

Lets just not go out with strong south winds. LOL. Keep the sheriff happy
