Officially Spring – Ice is off Wawa Lake

May 17, 2018 @ 10:12

The ice is off of Wawa Lake! Finally Spring must be here. Tuesday morning, a bunch of candled ice hit Dr. Rose’s beach piling up in heaps – the last of the ice on the lake.

Later that afternoon, Watson’s began flying, getting ready for their opening for the Victoria Day Weekend.

  1. Drove by wawa lake last week. There was a bit of ice left. We noticed garbage on the floating ice……and a ton of garbage in the water on the shore line. Do the people fishing on Wawa lake not realize that’s our DRINKING water?
