Here is my question. I would like to take her to RV or possibly Spruce Run. Can anyone give me a heads up on the best access that is kid friendly? I had read that the only ice at RV was the swimming side and accessible from the rocks only. Is this still the case? How about Spruce Run?

I know its last minute but any help is appreciated.
Best bet would be to go t RV. You are correct the swim side has some safe ice but the rocks are not all that bad when walking down to it. As far as Spruce goes you might have to drive around for awhile to find some safe ice and most likely it will be in coves. Last time I was there it was still slushy and not even close to being safe to fish on.

For the money I would go to RV unless you want to drive a little bit further up from Spruce Run then I would hit up Oxford Furnace lake.

Hope that helps.

Andre
