I spoke with my friend Steve McHugh (owner of the new Bell Street Gallery) around Noon today and he informed me that the "ice road" between Bayfield, Wisconsin and Madeline Island opened this morning.

Steve said the ice road is currently open to "cars and light trucks".

A midday call to the Windsled Transportation Hotline (715-747-5400) didn't announce the ice road opening, but the recorded message is supposed to be updated later today. 

I'd strongly suggest re-checking the Windsled Hotline number before you schedule a trip across the ice in your vehicle.  You may also want to call Arnie Nelson (Nelson Construction in LaPointe) at 715-747-3300.
