Drive-On Ice Fishing on the Flowage: A Cozy Propane Shanty for Up to Five.
On a winter shelf of the Flowage, Popp's Resort offers a singular, low‑fuss way to fish through the ice: rent a heated shanty, drive right onto the plowed roads when ice is thick enough, and step into a compact, social space where the operator drills the holes and you supply the rods and tackle.

A Heated Shanty with Holes Cut for You
The rental includes a propane‑heated shanty; the operator drills the fishing holes in the shack so you arrive ready to fish and stay warm.
Drive Right Onto the Ice
There are plowed roads out onto the ice so you can drive your vehicle to the shack when the ice is thick enough, making setup straightforward for groups hauling gear.
A Compact, Social Winter Experience
Designed for small groups, the shanty is a place to fish, share stories and laughter together during the day—an intimate winter ritual on the Flowage.
What the day feels like
What the day feels like
You arrive, follow the plowed road out onto the Flowage when conditions allow, and settle into a single shanty warmed by propane. The operator has already drilled the holes in the shack; you unload your ice‑fishing equipment, set lines, and spend the day fishing and socializing within the compact comfort of the rental. The rhythm is slow, communal and focused on the cast, the chatter, and the immediate landscape of ice and low winter light.
