Spot Details
There are many public lake access points along Nipissing's eastern shoreline and water depth, rocks, swimmers, etc, are less of a concern.
There are many (curious) snowmobiliers so make sure to wrap up your lines.
Beware of pressure cracks, they can make for nice jumps but they sometimes conceal open water.
As spring approaches, stay away from in front of the sewage treatment plant as there is a "warm" spot that opens up while the rest of the lake is still reasonably safe.
Works best with any W, too much N is not good.
