We were just up there this weekend winter camping on Disappointment for a couple nights, came in through Snowbank. We snowshoed in, but the trail was so packed we just walked out in our boots. A group came through dogsledding following our tracks and came back by the end of the day. Got a couple smallmouth bass and a decent pike. There is a snowplowed trail halfway down snowbank to some icehuts, so pretty easy walking there. There were three spots of open water, one on snowbank, the others on Disappointment.

Who should we contact for an overnight stay before we head into Snowbank?

Stayed there 30 years ago,nice place than and I am sure it still is a quality place.
Probably a little more expensive than a place in town,but your right there for a starting place and probably could leave your vechile there.
Worth checking out the prices?

I just made a reservation about $100 for 3 guys. Not bad! We made dinner and breakfast reservations. Thanks for the tip about leaving the truck there.
