Optimal ice boating conditions are when the ice is smooth and clear of snow—maybe even a little rain or melt on top—and, of course, there’s wind. The Chickawaukie Ice Boat Club, a volunteer organization of ice-boating enthusiasts founded in the 1960s, scouts locations and posts reports about ice conditions, boats for sale, social gatherings, boat swaps, and races at iceboat.me.
