IRON COUNTY, MI (WTAQ) – Two Oconto Falls men had to be rescued last weekend after busting through some thin ice on an Upper Michigan lake.
WLUC-TV reports that the pair went out onto Michigamme Lake/Peavey Backwaters in southern Iron County on Saturday. Sheriff’s say they were riding in a Polaris Ranger side-by-side when they drove over thin ice near a tributary around 2:30 p.m.
They broke through the ice over water about 25-feet deep. Both men were able to swim to short.
Officials later pulled the side-by-side out of the water.
