    I was on the lake yesterday and noticed a significant draw down. If I had to guess, I would say it was about 2 feet.

    The ice shows signs of being “caved in”.

    I suppose they are preparing for the big melt.

    Just weeks away from launching the boat on Wissota! Can’t wait!

    Doesn’t the drawdown make the ice unstable and scary to go out on?

    You won’t be surprised to hear the level has now come up again.

    I wouldn’t advise motorized vehicle travel, but foot travel is still occurring.

    If you really have the itch to get out, it’s ice free at the Jim Falls landing.

    Any idea of how far down stream the ice is off?

    It was ice free as far as I could see down stream.

    The ice near the S Bridge landing is still holding up pretty good.

    It will be a week or two before the cribs drop.
