Lake conditions are pretty good. We got some rain last week and it knocked the snow down. We did get 5-6 inches of snow today but it’s pretty light and fluffy.


I haven’t been by the Nels Lake road but I would assume there is a trail in at least part way.

Bump:


Any recent update available regarding the road to Nels Lake? Also, any update regarding snow/ice conditions in that area?


I know Ely had some rain recently and may get an inch or two of snow this week. Just curious about the conditions of the snow/ice around Nels / South Hegman and the road into Nels.


Much appreciated.

I just passed by Nels Lake Road last weekend. While it didn't look plowed, there were definite tire tracks down the road.

Does anyone know if the road to Nels Lake is plowed or at least a place to park off the Echo Trail near the road? Planning an easy winter trip for a group of more than 9, thus the reason for not going into the BWCA. Also, the maps show 3 campsites on the lake, but the Superior National Forest website states there are only 2. Any info would be great.
