Ice Thickness Reports

This service is provided with the understanding that anyone using the lakes do so at their own risk.

The Red Cross recommends ice be 15 centimetres thick for individual skating and 21 centimetres thick for group skating.

Ice thickness testing, is randomly done on each lake, and gives a general average of conditions which can vary over the entire surface. Please use extreme caution in areas where streams flow in and out of lakes
