Anyone have an update on ice out for Lakes Kipawa/Corbeau/Hunter?
I live about 1.5 hours southwest of Kipawa and the ice is off our local lakes.... My mom and dad were hoping to get up to our family camp this weekend but have been told the ice is still on Kipawa, so they cancelled their plans. A Kipawa local could probably give you a more accurate report, but from what I've heard, its still a no go at this time. Soon I'm sure.
Was talking to a few Kipawa residents today, they all said the lake is open but I also spoke to another who was on the lake this afternoon and he could not get to his cottage behind Bronson Island. I would say that the lake would be 90% open, I know that sounds a bit strange but I don't know how else to put it. I would say by friday the lake should be clear of all ice, or earlier.
This picture was taken by a friend this afternoon, in Jawbone's Bay looking north.

Lookin' good!
Launch my boat in Kipawa late this afternoon. Great ride in to the lodge. Broke a little ice around Beauvin narrows and Hunters lake. Still lots of white chunks floating around. Now the work starts. At least we 2 weeks till opening!!
Awesome! One of our boats got towed up yesterday waiting for our arrival.
