CONDITIONS UPDATE: Winter hike in the Cedarburg Bog
Update: Sunday morning, 2/2/2025 Jim Reinartz
It looks great for our hike today. Here is the update now: There will be no standing water over the ice. The ice will be slick with a little slushy snow on top.
- We will have good, solid, safe ice for our hike to Long and Donut Lakes on February 2.
- Some warm days, but nights below freezing, are forecasted for this week and the ice is thick.
- Unless we get substantial snow, the trail will be very slick ice on Sunday. Some type of ice cleats will be essential for safety if you can’t afford to fall.
- We will evaluate the chance of precipitation later in the week but will likely hike regardless of some snow or light rain.
- Dress for the weather and stay on the main trail. Safety glasses or sunglasses are always recommended for walking in the Bog.
- We are in for a beautiful and memorable hike in our amazing wetland as long as we are dressed for the conditions!
