On Sunday, December 27th at 6:15 PM, the Crow Wing County Sheriff’s Office received a call of an ATV and fish house that broke through the ice on Platte Lake.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, the two individuals got out of the water to shore, but their ATV and fish house are still in the water.

Sheriff Scott Goddard wants to remind people that ice thickness varies from lake-to-lake and can change overnight. He asks people to be vigilant on checking the thickness of the ice as they venture out onto the lakes.
