Caution thin ice! Be careful when venturing out on frozen lakes. Sadly three people have died this year after falling through the ice on Lake Minnetonka. According to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, it makes this year the lake’s most deadly for ice-related incidents since at least 1976.
