[#0000FF]This topic comes up every year. If you look at old maps of the valley...before the lake was dammed and filled...you will find no evidence of springs. There are a couple of small streams that come in at the northeast and southeast corners...BUT NO SPRINGS.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]However, there are weak spots that form wherever decomposing aquatic weeds or methane bubblers send bubbles to the surface...but these spots can change from year to year...or week to week.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]All lakes can have weak ice spots due to a wide range of conditions. It pays to look for dark spots or other indicators that might mean poor ice. And if you are unsure, follow the tracks of others who have gone safely ahead of you.
