The boat dock has been removed from the water for the winter. After a slow start to the season, the reservoir iced over this past weekend. All ice should be considered unsafe at this time. State Park staff will take ice measurements when it is safe to do so. If ice conditions become safe, trout fishing should be good for fish between 16″ and 22″.
