1/7/2020**ICE REPORT** ACCESS UPDATE**
We are making good progress on the lake. The bay has frozen to about 14-18" of ice. There is more snow in the bay then there is on the big lake. Because of the snow, and lack of super cold temps, there is still a small layer of water below the snow and on top of the ice. This is causing flooding to the areas that are not pre-plowed. Because of that we have limited access to wheelhouse/Fish house spots in the bay. We are able to pull tandem axel wheelhouses out in the bay, but we have limited space.
We are actively working to plow roads out onto the main lake. Our goal is to be able to have some wheelhouse spots available this weekend. Most of the main lake has around 12" or so of ice and little snow, however there are still some areas where there are slush pockets and 6" of ice. Because of this all wheelhouse traffic out of our resort must be dollied out by Beachside Resort. We are only allowing out 1 vehicle per wheelhouse and all vehicles must go directly to the wheelhouse and stay on our roads. NO OFFROADING as the ice isn't safe in all areas!
The cost for a resererved spot is $150 and that is good for 4 days 3 nights access, dolly in/out, and entry into our weekend fishing contest. Call Beachside at 320 738-1420 to make your reservation.

General Rules:
- Check is at 11:00 AM.
- Check out is 10:00 AM. If you want a late check out than you will need to ask in advance. Many times we will have people checking into the same house at 11 AM, which only gives us 1 hour to turn the house. So late checkouts need to be verified in advance.
- If you litter down a hole, under the fish house, or around your house, we will charge a $100 fee and we may report you to the DNR. We love Mille Lacs Lake and show it great respect and we expect the same of our customers. (DNR has a littering fine of $300)
- If you soil the banking around the fish house with anything, you will be charged up to $50 to re-bank or $100 to move the house. We want every customer to have a fresh looking area when they arrive so please help us out. If we have to move the house because the area is soiled than you will be charged for it,
- You must adhere to our speed limit which is 10-15 mph. Driving fast on the lake creates waves below the surface and safety concerns for you and others. Failing to abide by the speed limits will result in early termination with no refunds.
