Ice thickness on city lakes

Anyone know of a good resource for determining ice thickness on city lakes? Just trying to figure out when it is no longer safe to be out on Calhoun.

Thanks!

Kite Island access

I took my Geo Metro out on the ice to Kite Island last Friday via the north shore of Wayzata Bay. Luckily I didn't get stuck...I plan on heading out there again tomorrow but don't think the Rusty Jellybean will make it through all the fresh powder.

Re: More End of Session Stoke

Great video! I'd like to get a GoPro pole mount myself, but I don't think I have the skills to fly my kite one handed quite yet :)
