Finnboy	02/20/2023 06:27PM 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.
JimmyJustice	02/20/2023 08:05AM 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.
egknuti	01/09/2023 02:01PM I just passed by Nels Lake Road last weekend. While it didn't look plowed, there were definite tire tracks down the road.

motdur	01/07/2023 03:52PM 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.
