North East Access
If the PP launch is looking sketchy, go back out on 813 and go North. When you see the sign for the Waste Transfer Station, keep going. next Access is Calling Lake Drive, and this access is the one that goes to Ben Auger Park, the Indian Reserve, etc.
Turn onto Calling Lake Drive. About 100 meters on the RIGHT (North) side you will see a gravel road. Turn RIGHT. You can follow it down to a parking spot, and there is no ice heave at this location. There is flood water.
You are driving through some cat tails, so walk it first to be sure.
The sun is hitting the PP entrance, and all the dirt from the tires will start making the approach soft. The north access hardly gets used, as no one knows about it. The sun is not on that shore.
The northeast corner is shallow and sandy, so you do have to drive out a bit to get to 8 FOW. You can drive across to the Rock Island River on the North West Corner from here. Don't get close to the river, it is flowing, and the ice will be thin. There are some pretty good humps off the river though, as in 30 to 10 FOW, the size of a baseball diamond.
