Dont be foolish people! It is not worth it.
The crew from Rockwood Maine went out to mark the trails across Moosehead Lake to Kineo last week. They encountered 5” of ice and turned around to wait for more cold weather. We also heard that a pilot who flew over the lake saw open water on the north part of the lake.
My point is it’s been a LOT colder up in this region and they still have not deemed it safe to be on that lake, although it did freeze over more than a month ago.
