I put in at Memorial Park on the east side of Wausau in a back bay that was glazed with ice. It was my first experience with paddling in ice water and it was interesting to feel and hear the ice breaking to the pressure of my bow. Later as I cruised along my wake would run into the ice glaze along shore sending off the sounds of shuttering waves of crackling ice.
I posted more photos and a video of the ice breaking on the Photo Gallery page.
