Heavy equipment was at Portage Lake Tuesday attempting to remove a logging vehicle that broke through the ice while trying to cross a section of the lake last week. The grapple skidder fell through on Thursday right after driving onto the frozen lake from a snowmobile trail next to the floating islands in the northeastern region of Portage Lake, according to Sean Bernard, environmental specialist for Maine Department of Environmental Protection.
