Sheriff's office: Lake Vermilion ice road not safe for travel

By: Duluth News Tribune

An ice road on Lake Vermilion has become unsafe for travel, the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office reported Monday.

The quick turn to above-zero weather after frigid temperatures last week is being blamed for creating cracks in the ice on Pike Bay. The sheriff’s office reported that two vehicles were recently disabled on the road between Hoodoo Point and Everett Point.

The Sheriff’s Office is urging caution when traveling on any part of the lake.
