Yep, the trail in from the Touchwood Lake road is a little bumpy. Quads or sleds only. :D

ya i kinda figured it was on accesible by sled or quad..how does the lake freeze? any word on how much ice is on it yet?

I am on Jackson Lake a few times each winter. The Lake tends to have flood water on it but we make it on quads fine enough. You can generally see the flood water areas well enough but be prepared for some digging and pushing later in the day if you go. Definitely worth checking out.

I don't know anything about the current ice conditions however.

Cheers.

thanks for the info..we will be heading in on sleds so getting stuck shouldnt be as bad
