Most lakes have 8-plus inches of ice. Larger lakes may have holes that have more recently iced over; use caution when going out, especially if using an ATV or vehicle. Recent weather events in the area will make reading ice conditions more difficult. Check ice thickness often and bring a friend.

East Okoboji Lake: The lake is entirely iced over with around 4.5 inches in most areas. Use caution when going out; watch for holes that have iced over more recently.
