-Ice Fishing You can go ice fishing on any body of water in Minnesota. Of course it's a good idea to pick a body of water that, one, has fish in it and two, has a thick layer of ice on it. Most lakes eventually have ice thick enough that people drive their vehicles on it. As you drive across the lake the ice shifts and you can hear the resultant booming and cracking sounds. It can be quite frightening. Of course, sometimes vehicles do break through the ice. * DNR General Information - Fishing * This site has articles and forums on Seasonal Fishing Information plus Lots More. |

-Winter Trout Fishing * Trout Fishing in Winter? Well, ok, Minnesota Trout Unlimited has information, help and forums. Stream Reports too. * DNR General Information on Winter Trout Fishing |

-Sleigh Rides * Metro Area Sleigh Rides * Sleigh Rides "Up North" |
