WHERE TO WATCH
Springer’s On The Lake is the best place to watch, have some food, and your favorite beverage. You don’t even have to go on the ice. The iceboaters often sail to Springer’s for lunch.

It was iceboat central here in Four Lakes on January 7 – 8, 2023. The DN Western Region championship and the 4LIYC each had a course on Lake Kegonsa. Saturday’s lack of wind may not have been ideal for ice sailing, but it was a perfect day for landing a Super Cub. Renegader Jeff Russell stopped by to say hello to the DNs and then hopped over to join his fellow Renegaders at Springer’s.
