About
Rental (includes propane heat).
We drill the holes in the shanty but you need to bring all your ice fishing equipment. There are roads plowed out onto the ice so you can drive your vehicle right to the shack when ice is thick enough. You can not sleep overnight in our ice shanty but you can tell stories and have fun.
