Nipissing and Trout Lake are free. Tried to get into Cedar Lake today but the road is still snowed in at the 12km or so mark.

Thanks ATVenture for the constant updating. 
I'm booked for the 28th. Should I think that it's completely un-possible?

I wouldnt say its completely unpossible. Check MODIS imaging. Looks like good progress in the last week amd theres still time for you. Fingers crossed.

Re: So when does the ice-out prediction conversation start???

Based on todays Image and the weather this week I think that 18-20 degree Wednesday will finish off the ice.

Its the roads I'm worried about now

I think WORST CASE they won't issue any permits for Opeongo until after Friday but I think everywhere else will be good to go for sure! I'm assuming they will be doing an ice flight on Thursday.

Re: So when does the ice-out prediction conversation start???

The best satellite image in days still has a good amount of cloud cover obscuring things, but plenty of lakes have gone from white to blue, and the remaining iced-in ones are all significantly darker. Good progress for sure!

1 foot I would say. But there were ruts going through it from pickups so it's probably gone now. I'll probably head that way on Wednesday.

Re: So when does the ice-out prediction conversation start???

I was up on the weekend, there is still a lot of ice.  I think it will be another week yet before the official ice out!  Here are some pictures....

Brewer Lake


Opeongo access


Cache Lake



Canoe Lake



Tea Lake

If this week's forecast holds up I'd say there's still hope for this weekend.

Re: So when does the ice-out prediction conversation start???

Tried to get to Rain Lake road again today.. got passed the washout (I had to fix it up a bit for my small car) but the road is snowed in 3km before the access point..

I then tried to get into Magnetewan and its snowed in a few KM after the Tim River turn off, but pickups have been through.

Rain Lake April 24/17


Looking at the new Modis image today it looks like the ice is out on the East side? Grand, Stratton, Sec, etc?

Nice clear satellite image for today, showing good progress even from yesterday.
