Wisconsin Public Service is warning everyone to avoid all winter recreational activities on ice close to hydroelectric facilities because of thin ice. Ice that forms near hydroelectric dams and adjacent reservoirs is often thin, unsafe and inconsistent. This is because of continually changing water flows beneath the ice that forms. This is part of normal hydro dam operations. View full news release here.
