Can anyone tell me Grand Island conditions?

Can anyone tell me if you can ride out to Grand Island this year and if so, how are the conditions?

there was a youtube video posted on the Munising Visitors Bureau FB page. Looks like people are riding out there now. The visitors bureau did comment that the ice is not as smooth out to it as it was last year though.

Can you tell me where the access point is to get on the ice?

 

[megan600]

No prob!

Sand Point is the starting point

 

[doc_mark]

Can sand point be accessed from a snowmobile trail or do you have to trailer to that point?

Sand Point not on sled. Go from downtown or the boat launch of the ferry dock. Island trail will always be moguls. Minutes after a storm, the regulars tear it up
The ice has a lot of ice heaves. If you have not dealt with this before watch out. Kind of stuff that removes skis, damages suspensions, launches riders, or make you eat handlebars. If you dont know the area and ice conditions, ride like your grandma would. I removed a ski and suspension last year when it was supposed to be smooth. North shore of island was insane. in the bay heading towards Christmas close to shore always heaves. Its really a cool experience I would do it. But dont be an idiot out there.
