Weekend Ice Updates

Massabesic Lake – Dick Boisvert

Inner Mallets Bay: According to John Zierman, Inner Mallets Bay is currently sailable, with a decent surface and no known hazards. However, the launch area at the state boat ramp is somewhat rough.

Lake Massabesic: The ice remains sailable with a solid base measuring between 10 and 18 inches. However, sailors should remain cautious, as drain holes and other hazards have been reported. A full scouting of the area is recommended before sheeting in for speed.

Wolfeboro Bay, Lake Winnipesaukee: Conditions are rough, with shell ice in some areas and slush or water trapped between the base ice and surface. Sailors are advised to seek better conditions elsewhere.

As always, safety is paramount. With spring approaching, ice conditions can change rapidly. Stay alert and sail with caution.

    Massabesic Lake best launch site is Front Park on Londonderry Turnpike. You may need a plank.
