Most of us that drive on the St Croix during ice fishing season watch the ice access points closely at this time of year. If we get any kind of snow melt and runoff in the spring it usually deteriorates the ice access point at Hubs Point in Bayport.

I thought I would post this website link so you could watch to see if we get any kind of rise in river levels in the next few weeks. This will help you get a feel for what may be happening at the Hubs Point access site. Here is the link:
