Georgetown Lake Ice Driving

Georgetown Lake Ice Driving is a seasonal, town‑managed activity offered on Georgetown Lake (generally January–March) when ice conditions meet municipal safety criteria. The Town issues Winter Lake Use Permits and monitors ice; driving is allowed only in designated areas near the dam/bridge.

Permit holders must follow the Town's permit policy, carry required insurance/waivers, and accept the town's disclaimer about ice safety. Events are run by clubs and operators (e.g., Arctikhana) when ice thickness and weather permit; warm winters can cancel programs.

You’ll drive on a cleared, monitored section of Georgetown Lake under a town permit and event rules.
