Angus M. just posted on the Nicatous Lake Facebook page to let everyone know what it is like at the lake right now. He posted the following: “Drove in to camp this past weekend. Road is OK 35 mph slightly rutted. Ice 5-7″ on Saturday thickened up by Monday. 4 wheelers would have been better than the snowmobiles we brought. very little snow 3-4″ max. Kids skated on the clear black ice patches. Only 1 eagle sighted. Very cold”
Thanks so much for the information, Angus.

Thanks for this info. I have a camp on the 32-00 road south of the lake and will be planning on coming up for my first winter ice fishing trip to the camp in late Feb. For those of you that have been around in the winter months in previous years, are there road closures to trucks/vehicles on either the Stud Mill Rd or any of the offshoots like the 32-00 road in general that I need to be aware of? Any info/comments you might have are appreciated.

Hi Mike, Glad that the info helped. Steve & I have not been in during the winter for a long time. As far as we know, there is a section of the 32-00-0 road (from Deer Lake to the Hoityville RD) that is part of the ITS snowmobile trail. Technically, you aren’t supposed to drive on a groomed trail but, there are those that drive to their camps when possible.
You may want to pose your question about roads on our Nicatous Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/nicatous). It seems that folks use that page more than the comment section on the website so you may get a better answer than I just gave you.
Enjoy your fishing trip.
