The New FM 105.5 Muskoka's Lite Favourites

A heads up for the public about the ice situation on Lake Muskoka. The New FM 105.5 has been contacted by a concerned contractor who says there's been a dramatic turn for the worse in terms of ice stability on the lake over the last couple of days. Fissures and wide-open areas of water have developed where there was solid ice only days ago. Two days ago, the contractor says ice near Baxter Island was in a somewhat solid condition, but he says now there's at least 40 feet of open water around it. The MNR recommends always checking with local groups like anglers and snowmobile clubs - who know about ice thickness on lakes - before you even think about venturing out.
