Pickerel Lake Cabin

 

 

Polar Plunge 2/13/2010

An annual event on Pickerel Lake every February (2nd weekend) come and watch what happens when a bunch of people from  northern wisconsin get together early in the day on a frozen lake!  People come by plane, snowmobile, 4 wheeler, or truck. Parking is on the lake or on the road (if you can find a spot there) Take the plunge into the lake (hey bring your swim shorts or bikini) or watch the snowmobiles jump across the open water (yes, some don't make it and the machines get wet!) platforms for scoring from the crowd are pulled in by 4 wheelers. It gets a (little) wet, but that's why some bring coolers (to stand on) It's an adventure at any temperature! This year, the ice on the lake was over 2 feet thick. Food and beer/soda tents are out on the ice and raffle for a new snowmobile, 4 wheeler, or cash prize on 3pm Saturday. The big plunge takes place around noon.
