Abraham Lake Ice Report - January 9, 2025

The lake has been frozen for several days, and ice thickness is now averaging 18-20 cm across all major spots. The freeze up occurred during a storm, leading to neat ice formations including heaves and unique patterns. In general, the ice could use a bit more wind to polish its surface for clearer viewing.

The Ice Bubbles Parking Lot and Hoodoo Creek offer great bubble viewing conditions with some nice clear patches. Abraham Slabs and Cline Landing need some more wind to polish the ice further. Dropping water levels are affecting ice quality at Preacher's Point but you can still find some nice patches of bubbles if you look around. Watch for weak, fractured ice and areas of open water.

As always, be cautious navigating steep shorelines with fractured ice. Lower-angled sections are safer for accessing the lake and we always recommend using traction devices.

We do have potential snow in the forecast for Friday so things could change quickly.

Some great patches of bubbles and neat ice features can be found across the lake.
