Ice Out on Lake Winnipesaukee

Wednesday, April 23, 2008 at 8:00 pm

"Ice-Out" on Lake Winnipesaukee was officially declared on
Wednesday, April 23, 2008 at 8:00 pm.

"Ice-Out" occurs when the ice that has covered the Lake since late December or early January melts enough to allow the M/S Mount Washington cruise ship to navigate between its ports: Alton Bay, Center Harbor, Weirs Beach, Meredith and Wolfeboro.

During the winter months the ice is thick enough to support the weight of cars, snowmobiles and airplanes. It usually melts completely by late April, although the latest Ice-Out recorded is May 12th.

The official date and time of "Ice-Out" is determined by
the Lakes Region Association.
