Default Boating Warning

Just a note to new boaters. Just because Ice-Out gets declared, it does not mean that the lake is free from ice. There are often a few icebergs.. some just under the surface. Hitting one would not be fun. Additionally, there is typically lots of debris on the lake such as sticks. logs, chunks of docks and wood that are not easily seen. It is not a good idea to go speeding around at first. Please pick up any debris you encounter if it is safe to do so.. you may save someone else's boat.

The water is very cold and the breeze off the water is chilly. The air temperature may be warm, but it will still be cool in the boats on plane... I always have jackets, hats and gloves in the boat this time of year.

It will be very soon
Be careful out there
