I've been on 4 inches before but would rather be on 6 inches or better

3-4" of "good" ice is all you need to walk on

Like TeeJay said 3-4" is good to walk on, 6-8 is good for an ATV and I like about 12 or moreto go on it with my truck

There has been alot of bad ice here this year with alot of people getting wet so I'm sticking with six inches. On a normal year six inches of good ice has held a small pick-up truck but I don't think it would be wise this year. At least not up here.
