EAGLE NEST, N.M. (AP) - The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish says Eagle Nest Lake is now open to ice fishing, and it will host the annual Polar Bear Plunge on New Year's Day.
Recent cold weather has increased the ice depth on most areas of the lake, making it safe enough for foot traffic.
However, officials are warning that off-highway vehicles, snowmobiles or other vehicles are prohibited on the lake.
The department will continue to monitor ice conditions.
The lake could close to ice fishing if conditions deteriorate.
On Sunday, visitors will have the chance to start the new year off with a plunge into the lake's icy waters.
Registration for the event begins at 9 a.m. State officials say day-use fees of $5 per vehicle will be required.
