Ice Report - Branchport, NY
Keuka Lake

I’ll keep this short. Ice is great with very little snow on top for now which is why it has grown this week. Everything seems to be well locked in. There is a pressure ride near the west shore that extends northward. (See both maps) Thicknesses ranged from 8.75” — 10.75” with most measurements ranging between 9”—10”+. There were signs of gas holes from earlier, but everything I was on was solid and well locked in. I did pull up one cross section where overall thickness was 9.25” with 6.5” of black ice and 2.75” of snow ice.

Just a reminder that GENERALLY SPEAKING snow ice is about 1/2 the strength as black ice, so the 2.75” mentioned above would be approx as strong as 1.4” of black ice. From a strength/load bearing standpoint that 9.5” of mixed ice is more like 7.9” of black ice. It’s not an issue on the west branch right now, but it most certainly is on the east branch. That report will be coming out later today because it does potentially impact vehicle usage farther south of Indian Pines.

A few final things: remember that ice thickness and conditions vary and can even change during the course of a handful of hours. While the vast majority of this ice is visible due to a lack of snow cover, that will change with any snow we receive this weekend. Anything that could signal potential problems will be hidden. Be aware.

Also, this information is meant to be a reference. ALWAYS check conditions yourself—weather forecasts, frequent spudding, measuring, etc—before venturing out and while out. Stay aware. SAFETY IS ALWAYS THE #1 PRIORITY.

Seeing Buoys? The NY DEC is conducting a two week program targeting forage fish in the lake. This program will involve the use of buoys and nets being place throughout the entire lake over the course of this two week period. Some of these buoys and nets may be placed close to shore. If you are boating, swimming, or enjoying any water related activities during this period, please avoid the area around this buoys. Also, for everyone's safety, please remember the 200'/5 mph rule when boating on the lake.
