Busher Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hope someone can help out. I am looking to head up to the Hailburton area either this weekend ( April 17) or the next, does anyone know if the ice is out yet. More specifically I was going to hit Kennisis Lake.

Nemo Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I was up at Kennisis last weekend and it is still covered with Ice. Depending on weather I think it may not clear out till after the 25th of April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busher Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Well here's hoping the warm weather this week makes a difference, I was hoping to head up there the weekend of the 24-25th!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigworm Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Was near Halls Lake on the weekend. Here's a pic to give you an idea. I will be going up again this weekend. Will report again upon return. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singingdog Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Kinnesis still has a fair bit of ice cover. I am heading up that way today or tomorrow and will check it for you. I doubt it will completly up by this weekend, but it's a good chance it will by the the 24th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busher Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Thanks for the info, any updates would be appreciated!!!! Dying to get on the water!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singingdog Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I was on Kinnesis yesterday. There is a small - 3 acre - area of open water where it flows in from Little Kinnesis. The wind was breaking the ice up fairly quickly, but the rest of the lake still has about 3" of very rotten ice on it. Little Kinnesis - and other area lakes with no flow through them - are still bank-to-bank, but getting dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busher Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 This might help. It's not Kennisis Lake but it still gives you a decent idea of the conditions in Haliburton http://www.halcom.ca/haliburton.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singingdog Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 This might help. It's not Kennisis Lake but it still gives you a decent idea of the conditions in Haliburton http://www.halcom.ca/haliburton.php That's Head Lake, right in the village of Haliburton: closed until Walleye opener (fish sanctuary). It opens up fairly early because of strong current at both ends. Just to give you an idea of the speed of the melt, it was still mostly ice covered (80%) this time last week.

dada2727 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I heard today some info on Gull lake. Miners bay was still iced up as of yesterday, and the deep bay launch was a wash out. I heard there was a launch somewhere on the north end, possible around sandy bay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busher Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hey Bigworm Any update on the ice conditions in the Haliburton area to report on from your weekend visit. Any updates would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singingdog Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 We paddled Kennisis on Sunday. Most of the lake still had 1-2" of slush on top. We could get through it in kayaks, and it was breaking up fast. My guess is that Kennisis and most other good-sized lakes will be open by this weekend. Little Kennisis has gone from all-white ice to broken-up dark ice: it will probably be 4-5 days behind Kennisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
