Duluth Fire Department warns of unsafe ice conditions in Lake Superior bay
[DULUTH, MN] Duluth Fire Department officials are asking the public to exercise caution and refrain from engaging in ice fishing activities on Superior Bay adjacent to Park Point as of Wednesday, February 7, 2024.
Recent warm temperatures have led to large cracks and fissures forming in the ice on the bay, including open water areas making conditions unsafe for recreational activities like ice fishing. The public should stay off of the ice until conditions for ice recreation improve. Please remember that wind conditions play an important factor in ice safety on large bodies of water.
