Looking to go out this Sat. This will be our first time on Erie and wondering if anyone is still going out of Catawba. We have a polaris ranger and wondering if others use them out there. Have a gps hooked up to it off the boat with the lake map so we know were we are. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Yes, plenty of Polaris Rangers used and should not have a problem.
Just need to use good sense when crossing any cracks.
A problem you will have is finding parking on Saturday. The lot at Catawba is usually full by 6:00 AM on Saturdays.

I heard it fills up quick. Id hate to drive that far and not find a spot to park.

It is a little more drive time on the ice but you could go out of Camp Perry. You can reach any place from there that you would try to reach from Catawba.

Thanks we are looking into that, never been there but if the parking situation is better then it sounds good.

Yes, Camp Perry is an Ohio National Guard facility that allows access for ice fishermen. There are some restricted parking areas and there is a mail box at the main 4 way stop intersection with pamphlets that mark the restricted areas. Still will be crowded on Saturday but not as bad as Catawba.
