When are large metro lakes opening up?

SUNDAY April 20 2008

Are any of the larger lakes open yet? Like White Bear Lake, Forest Lake, Minnetonka etc?

I could drive around but don't want to spend the GAS money! I noticed my local small lakes had a few boats on them today!

Forest was still ice covered as of yesterday with open water areas out 30-50 yards but it will be a couple days yet.

Tun river beat me to it - FLake has open water all around it, but most of it is still covered. As of last friday, White Bear has very little open water - one spot looks open in the middle of the north bay but hard to tell and there is some open water around the shoreline. I would guess sometime in the next week if it stays warm and windy, and of course rain doesn't hurt. I have not seen personally but have friends on tonka and they are saying about the same. Good Luck and Think open water!!!! Paul
