Hi Lone Lakers!
It is definitely spring on Lone Lake as the ice went out as of Sunday, April 19th according to Dave Scott, our official 'Ice On' and 'Ice Out' record keeper! This beats last year when the ice disappeared April 24th. According to the MN DNR 'Ice Out' occurs when the lake is completely free of ice. Or, it may be when it is possible to navigate from point A to point B. Ice out may also be when a lake is 90 percent free of ice. Observers use consistent criteria from year to year when reporting lake ice-out dates.
The LLPOA will now gear up for the coming boating season on Lone Lake along with all our other activities. We will be following the safe practices of social distancing and whatever may be required as the times, they keep changing.
Stay tuned for LLPOA updates. Starting this year, as members voted to use less paper beginning in 2020, look for shorter news briefs rather than the former newsletter. Delivered to your email, we will keep you in the know for our lake.
We'll talk again later.
