Winter Lake Acess Trail System

Unlike any other lake in North Dakota, Devils Lake provides anglers an extensive trail system to provide road access to the lake and onto the ice itself.  The Winter Lake Access Committee, a group of volunteers of the Chamber of Commerce, administers the program.  The trails don't go everywhere, but we do try to get you to the hot spots or traditionally consistent areas of the lake.

The trails are maintained based on current ice conditions, fishing activity and weather conditions.  BE AWARE!  Weather conditions on the lake can and will temporarily close trails.  Trails will be re-opened as soon as conditions warrant.  The Devils Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, its committees and members assume no liability in our efforts to maintain trails on Devils Lake.  It is the responsibility of the user to determine current ice conditions, weather conditions, locate and avoid natural or man made hazards.  We ask that if you use the trails, you get at least 100 feet from the trail before drilling any holes or placing an ice house.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS

Unlike similar trail systems in other communities that charge a per-day fee, these trails are free to its users.  The community raises the funds from business donations and voluntary membership association.  If you visit Devils Lake and use the trails, we would appreciate your support.  Become a member of the Lake Access Association for only $10/year by sending your $10 donation to:
