ICE OFF - MARCH 24, 2021
ICE OFF!!! The rain last night melted off the rest of the ice along the south shore, and we're officially ice-free as of today. Berrylaker Mark D guessed today's date! This is the second earliest "Ice Off" date that we've ever recorded (2016 went ice free on March 22).
FYI our Ice-On date last fall was December 23rd, and that was the latest Ice On date recorded. So our lake was covered with ice for less time this past winter than ever before (since we've been recording that data). We'll have to see what that means for EWM growth, et. al.
And FYI our water level today is less than it was when the ice went off last year which is good news. The BLPOA will be monitoring the levels this spring and will continue working with the Town of Underhill regarding the no-wake ordinance; and we're all remaining cautiously optimistic that lake life can return to normal soon.

WDNR FISH REPORT - MAY 2019:
BERRY LAKE WATER LEVELS
The Department of the Interior US Geological Survey was granted a permit through the WDNR this spring to install a continuous water level recorder at Berry Lake in 2013. The equipment consists of an on-shore aluminum enclosure along with buried conduit that is trenched form the enclosure to the shoreline and then below the lake bed out to a point where it can be anchored to the lake bed.
