TRIPP LAKE ICE-OUT DATES

Don Keene, long-time resident of Tripp Lake, has kept records of ice-outs since 1924. His record-keeping has been compiled into a graph by Board Member Rick Lundstedt. Neat and interesting! Thanks so much, Don, for sharing this information with us and to you, Rick, for interpreting the numbers for us.

Graph indicates warming trend over past 80 years
