Stay safe on the ice
The DNR offers safety tips on the ice this winter.
• No ice is 100 percent safe.
• New ice is usually stronger than old ice.
• Don’t go out alone - if the worst should happen, someone will be there to call for help or to help rescue.
• Let someone know where you are going and when you will return.
• Check ice thickness as you go out - there could be pockets of thin ice or places where ice recently formed.
