On December 13, 2014, the Wadena County Sheriff’s Emergency Manager was notified of a pickup that had gone through the ice near the Stocking Lake Access.
Earlier in the week, a “THIN ICE” sign was posted next to the access warning everyone that the ice was unsafe. The truck drove over the ice heave that was near the access and the front end fell through; right next to the “THIN ICE” sign.
The Stocking Lake access will be closed until further notice. The Wadena County Sheriff’s Office advises to use extreme caution when out of the ice. This is the second vehicle to fall through a Wadena County Lake in less than a week.
