Newfound lake updates
Ice hazzards:
The lake has not been thoroughly scouted but there are a few know issues. Between Mayhew island and the eastern Shore is open water. Hug the Western Shore when leaving the launch harbor. There is also a working seam on the west side of Mayhew. I marked an open spot with a branch but if you stick the Western Shore you are fine.
There are some small pressure ridges on the large part of the lake but they are avoidable and crossable with care.
Launching site:
86-130 Shore Dr
