Jackson Falls ice (The Stain Ice WI4 / East Falls WI2-3)
WI4seep-fedposition unconfirmedAccess is yours to check
This site says nothing about whether you may reach or climb these routes. That is decided by whoever manages the land — a park, a forest, a city, a tribe, a private owner — and by permits, seasonal and wildlife closures and local law, all of which change. A route listed here is not a route you are allowed to climb, and a route with no restriction noted here may still be closed. Check with the land manager before you go.
Recorded access notes — from our research, possibly out of date
USFS Shawnee National Forest; climbing allowed and managed with the Illinois Climbers Association; no ice-specific rule found.

Ice watch
Ice watches run November to April.
Ice here is an event, not a season. A watch opens when a storm puts water on the rock and a hard freeze follows within the week, at this route's elevation. It is a rule of thumb, not a forecast that ice has formed, and it has not been validated: there are only about ten dated sightings in thirty years to check it against.

for this route
Aspect drives the model’s solar term, so an unconfirmed position would produce a confident wrong answer rather than an obvious gap.
- · position is a shared area centroid, not this route
- · terrain check has not been run

Including if there was nothing there. A report of no ice is worth more to the model than a report of ice.
