Mother Nature’s been cranking the heat and turning on the fan at Tongue River Reservoir, so the ice isn’t getting much of a chance to settle in. From Rattlesnake Pt north, it’s mostly open water with some patchy ice, and south of the point, it’s looking sketchy—around 2-3 inches, maybe, but the shoreline is on the thin side.
Ice Update from Tongue River Reservoir State Park 12-12-24:
The warm weather and windy days earlier this week is keeping the ice from growing. We have open water from Rattlesnake Pt north with some ice here and there. There is some ice south of Rattlesnake Point but I am uncertain about how safe it is. I would guess 2-3″ but the shoreline seemed thin.
No major changes in the weather forecast at this point. We will try to do weekly updates.
