A few days ago I talked to a ranger at Walthrop State Park about winter access and conditions at Martin Lake. I am an iceboater from northern New Mexico and in the past iceboated on Eagle Nest and Maloya Lake plus a few others. I want to be able to iceboat on Martin Lake as a backup. The ranger was unknowledgable and unhelpful. Do any of you ice fish there? What is the access situation? My iceboat comes apart and is light enough for me to carry up to 100 or 200 feet, so I don't have to back up my car to the ice, although I would much rather do that. Do you just go out to the lake in winter and don't concern yourself with park rangers?
