Slave Lake ice heave
Anyone else hear about this or can confirm where it runs?
Had a friend of a friend say there is a huge split that developed roughly 15-20 feet wide and 20 kms long. Was apparently wide open water on the weekend.
Just trying to confirm if that's correct and if it is, what areas are affected. The guy was saying there were several people cut off from their shanties.
Thanks.

Where on the lake is this? Was out near my house this morning and did not see anything like that, but I was fishing pretty shallow.

Thanks gents.
A 20' trench with 1/2" of ice and snow on it is extremely dangerous.
This warm weather is not going to help.

Crazy if that's the truth, I can't imagine what that would be like if you were on the ice and close by. Hopefully anyone out on the ice when it happened was able to get off safely.
Does it affect Assineau or Canyon Creek access or is it just around Spruce Point Park and Little Miami?

I was planning a trip up...
Hey, I have never fished this lake but was hoping to get out there this coming week. Is this lake safe to go out on? Walking or driving, or am I just too late this season.

So wouldn't that mean there is 20' of ice pushed up onto land?
I know jackfish lake in sask has this happening and doing huge heaves on the shore and wrecking some cabins.

No sign of the big crack at the narrows today. Access is limited to atv’s or track machines due to the depth of snow and drifts. No flood waters yet. Fish are biting good

Might head up this weekend and was wondering on any recent updates on this crack/heave situation?
As well-snow depth/flood water/truck access for the Spruce Point, Assineau and Canyon creek areas. Any info is appreciated and PM's welcome, thanks.

This is the ice heave we ran into at Keeley Lake in March/2017. We had to drive almost 2 miles to the west shore to get access to the lake. After we got home I used google earth and measured it at 10 miles!!
