Cold Lake

[-JR-]

I know this thread will get many views.
Its Nov 20 ,would like to hear an up date on the lake from the locals .
Is the main lake still open ?

The main lake had 4 to 5 ft waves this morning, lots of steam rising off the water, won't be long.

Ive been trying my best not to think about it. Im thinking mid to late Dec for some sketchy sled/quad fishing! ... And a couple nuts driving around in half tons... Lol, watched a guy drive on 6-8" with nasty heaves on 80 FOW last year. CANT WAIT!!!

Hopefully it freezes by end of December! Its my only break in school to get up there!

Good to hear its still open. Do not need all that snow on the lake should freeze thicker now.

Walked out to the Long Bay point through the park with my dogs yesterday.

Standing on the point looking out onto the main lake, the ice extends a few hundred yards. Lots of steam and loose ice floating around out there. Quite pretty.

The bay itself has been frozen over for at least 10 days.

Quite cold last nite. I imagine the ice would have built up considerably.

Will probably check out Marie today.

I heard French bay is iced over

with the snow and cold weather we have had I would be surprised if people are not out on French already.

Just came back from French Bay.
Standing at the boat launch and looking to your left to the end of French Bay is ice covered. The rest of the bay is covered in waves.
French Bay this AM is 95% open water.
