Is it legal to have a campfire on ice on a lake?
Not sure but it did start a debate as to whether the ice would melt or not to point of failure? Different jurisdictions have different laws on such things. As strange as it sounds, there are people who regularly build fires on lake surfaces to stay warm while ice-fishing. Usually it is against regulations to build it right on the ice - because it will melt the ice and the sucker who built it may fall in and have to be rescued. Those who build the fires will usually use a "fire pit" or "fire box" that they bring with them that insulates the ice from the fire. The risk is usually to the stuff they place around the fire - which, yes, does start to melt into the ice, but if the ice is thick enough and cold enough, they can keep it going long enough to warm themselves.
Where is ice thickest in the middle or outside of a lake?
