  Spring is here! The ice is off of Wawa Lake. Even better is that Magpie High Falls, Silver Falls are at their spring best right now with lots of water flowing over the falls. Go enjoy them before the other spring event begins “black fly season”!   YEAR OPEN FROZEN 2023 May 10 2022  May 13 December 19 2021 ...

Winter is officially here – at least by Wawaite’s standards. Wawa Lake is now iced over, the ice came Sunday night, and it was confirmed by several Wawa residents that the ice completely covered the lake. However excited the anglers are about putting their ice huts out and snowmobilers racing across the lake at full throttle, please exercise caution on ...

What a whirlwind of temperatures this month! From -23 to 12, and gusty winds tearing the ice up… It was a real guess as to when the ice would finally set. Yesterday afternoon, it looked like the ice completely covers the ice.   Last night the moon glowed on the fresh ice, shining its reflection down the lake. However excited ...

Last Friday, April 16th was the earliest ever day that the ice on Wawa Lake was gone (from records beginning in 1949). Although I think that Mother Nature is perhaps trying to hang on to winter with temperatures dropping below 0C every night. In 1987, the ice was gone as of April 20th. Several years ago, Andy Stevens shared information ...

  This December it seemed as if the ice would come late to Wawa Lake. The ice would form on the shorelines, but then the wind would rise, and break it up. This happened several times, but yesterday it seemed that Jack Frost had worked hard and there were nothing but a few spots where open water remained. This morning, ...

  Wawa residents are sure to be happy that the ice is now off of Wawa Lake. This means that people can now kayak, canoe, stand-up paddle board – all respecting social distancing of course. With historical data from Andy Stevens, Wawa-news has been tracking when ice forms and leaves Wawa Lake since 2014 – it is interesting to see ...

  Once again the temperatures in Wawa bounced up and down – above freezing then well below. Finally the water took on that funny oily look, and the ice began in the bays and in front of town. The frozen tendrils of ice reached out, and over the space of three days, the lake was completely frozen (Saturday, December 7th). ...

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.   History YEAR ...

Dec 16, 2016 @ 12:13 With the very cold temperatures of the past couple of days, ice has begun to form on Wawa Lake. Yesterday afternoon, two patches of open water could be seen from the Drill Rig. One just off Blueberry Point, and the other on the east by Mackey Point. Several years ago, Andy Stevens shared information showing ...

Nov 29, 2014 @ 12:20   Yesterday the water on Wawa Lake was beautiful. It was a rich, deep, dark blue with shimmers of black as the waves moved. Today… It’s a whole other story.   The ice has begun to form. This is the second earliest date from the charted dates below, by a mere 2 days. November 26th, ...
