I wouldn't be driving on it, lots of springs and it has not been cold enough.

Was out a couple weekends ago, and maybe had 6-7 inches of decent ice. Very unlikely that you could safely drive on it at this point. Was at Reesor last weekend and nothing close to 14 inches, maybe 8-10 if your lucky. Nobody attempting to drive on. Good luck at Spruce!!

Might be a dumb question but would you be allowed to drive (quad, sled, car, etc) on a lake that doesn't allow motorized watercraft? Anyone know?
