Description
Old Time Ice Harvest
Discover the good old days of harvesting lake ice. Dress warmly as you come out on Lake
Itasca to see ice harvesters’ use tools of the ice cutting trade. Watch them create an opening in the ice with a single handled handsaw, then wait as they bounce the ice blocks out of the water onto the slippery edge.
