Lake Minnetonka Ice Out is the official start of spring

For those of us who use Lake Minnetonka year round ice out is the official start to spring! The winter lake activity's end in February weather permitting because it is no longer safe to drive on the lake.  Lets hope we get an early ice-out so we can have cocktails on the deck at  Fletcher's  . For Lake Minnetonka Buyers and sellers Spring, Summer, and Fall is the best time to view property's, because you can see the kind of lake shore a property has to offer.

                                                                                                                           

Declaring Minnetonka Ice-Out

Ice-out is declared on Lake Minnetonka by the Commander of the Water Patrol: currently 
Lt. Steve Hartig. Ice Out does not necessarily mean "Ice Free".

Ice-Out is declared by Lt. Hartig   when he can take a boat from Water Patrol Headquarters 
in Spring Park, through the Narrows and around Big Island without having to significantly 
alter course to avoid ice or ice floes. This is the same method that has been used since 1855 
for lake boat captains to start the summer navigation season.

Earliest Ice-Out: March 11, 1878
Latest Ice-Out: May 8, 1856
Earliest to Latest: 59 days
Most Common Ice-Out: April 17 & 18 - 9 times.
Average Ice-Out: April 15 (Ice-Out has never occurred on this date.)
