The lake level in Wildhorse Lake is low. As a result, the floating dock is anchored in very shallow water and the ground is muddy. Please exercise caution while launching boats.
OHV use is permitted on the lake ice surface. Take the most direct route to the ice surface. Save the shoreline. Remember – no ice is ever 100% safe. Ice thickness can vary.
