3/23/12 – Sawbill Lake’s ice cover is pretty degraded, but we are expecting more seasonable temperatures in the coming week, so I don’t think it will go out for at least another week. It is a notoriously difficult thing to predict though.

The Forest Service is replacing their old floating airplane dock on Sawbill Lake. They usually unhook it from shore and paddle it around into a sheltered bay for the winter. With the new dock in position to be installed this spring, they decided to leave the old dock in place this winter. Soon the ice will break it away from shore and it will have to be fetched back from where ever the wind decides to leave it.
