The Pickerel Lake 2018 ice out date was May 4th-late, but not a record. Thanks to records from Dan, Kurt, and Jonnathon, 2013 had a later ice out date of May 10th. The majority of Minnesota lakes were open before May 6th, except near the Canadian border. If you would like to view the ice going out at the south end, check our FaceBook page for video and pictures. Curious about the earliest date? March 19, 2012 stands as the earliest on record. If you have other records, please let us know.
