Does anyone know if Ririe is frozen over yet? I heard it was but it seemed a bit early to me for that to happen.

Ririe is one of the last lakes to freeze in this area , but with the temps they are saying we will have the next few days . It could be froze in a week . Curt G.

I would be betting that Ririe does not freeze until the middle of December.

+1 It takes a long time for the water to cool to 100' of depth and then return back up to freeze. The constant turn over along with the wind will keep it open for a while. The brave will try the ice at the dam inside the circle. Climbing down the frozen rocks and onto thin ice is a bit much for me.

We had a cold snap like they're forcasting the next couple days about the 1st week in December last year. It didn't phase Ririe. It wasn't until about Jan 1 that Ririe really froze over. I would not expect the hard deck there until about X-mas.
