Those of you who guessed late April in the Ice-Out contest shouldn't give up hope. Just remember 2001. That year almost the entire lake was clear of ice by late April but a strong NW wind created a large ice mass that blocked Wolfeboro Harbor until May 2nd when the official Ice-Out was called. By that time the spring boating season was well underway but since the Mount could not reach all of its ports the official Ice-Out could not be declared.

Check our Ice-Out page for past Ice-Out dates and many webcams where you can view the progress yourself.

Right now there is still plenty of ice. Here's a picture from yesterday. That's Eagle Island in the foreground:
