Open water on pothole lakes around Edmonton?
Hey guys, anyone know the ice conditions / open water conditions on the local pothole lakes? Would love to get my canoe in as soon as possible.

The ice was off the west end by Monday evening (yesterday). The east 2/3 still had ice but should be gone soon.

Thanks Darren, it’s clearing up pretty quickly considering the long cold snap we had!

Our lake in Sask looks to be about two weeks ahead of where it was last year. May be completely ice free this weekend!

Anyone up north of Edmonton able to have a peek at any of the lakes between Lakeland PP and Calling?
The wife and I are itching to escape the city.

Thanks for letting me know, timesink. I did not know that. I would have lost a bet on that one.
