Well I am on LOB.
In dwight bay near dwight beach. Still ice on the lake. Approximately 4 " there is enough open water that we were able to get the 12ft tinner in and troll around ice keeps getting blown into the bay. Some of it is pretty solid most of it can be broken up with paddle if hitting it hard enough. We leave LOB sunday but wouldnt be surprised is majority is gone by saturday. At least up in this area.

Just did a drive to oxtongue lake tonight. There is some open water south of the bridge, but alot of ice at the bridge. Generally not navogable yet.
Some smaller lakes North of LOB are still not navigable.
I would think by the end of the weekend alot of that will change.

Park lake was about half open but that was about the only open water I saw along 60 aside from current areas. Came back through Halliburton and things are just starting to break up there. Grass lake was open but Maple still had ice. boshkung had about 1km of open water at the north end.
Might be close for the 11th.

Here's another webcam that you can check out from Lake of Bays, Bigwin Island.
And of coarse our webcam on Lake Opeongo, Algonquin Park.
Still waiting to see movement on the ice in the bay, that's usually a clear sign it's about to break up in the bay, if the weather co-operates the rest of the lake may go in a day or two after the bay goes.

Kind of looks like the ice is half off of Fork Lake in the FOAP webcam

Just water on the ice I think, it usually opens up in the furthest channel if I remeber correctly.

The Park posted a clip on Twitter of the Canoe Lake access point. The shore is open and looks like it’s breaking up pretty nicely.

Driving from Ottawa to Bancroft along 28 today, there were many small and large lakes still iced in solid (seemed like 2 inches or so). But also some larger lakes that were open. We stopped at one that apparently had ice cover yesterday, and only about 10% today. As we got closer to Bancroft it looked like more lakes were open. It's very windy here now, which will help.
