April 24, 2007 - Around 12 noon today the ice "officially" went out on Mattanawcook Lake according to Andrea Kneeland. The 81 degree temperature yesterday probably helped, but the brisk northwest winds today seemed to bring it to an end! Temperatures today struggled to reach 59 degrees.
These dates are provided to us by Andrea Kneeland of Lincoln Motor Company on the shores of Mattanawcook Lake. Andrea tells us that every owner of Lincoln Motor Company or the building it occupies (it was once an ice house) has kept up the tradition of recording the ice out date each year since 1930. The ice is considered out when the lake is open as far as Weatherbee Island.

If you have ice out information for any of our other lakes, please e-mail us.
