The ice is thick enough, but with the crusty snow cover, there are areas that is is very difficult to move, and, not so much getting on, but getting ack off the ice, some pressure cracks along the shore lines have gone up about 6 feet high. Gilford has a spot you can sneak through, but don't count on it remaining like that. When it warms up, the ice expands...goes up and heaves and can leave you stranded.
