Our 2019 ice surveys on Lake Pepin have begun. Last week a three-person crew with the project office in Fountain City, Wisconsin, launched the airboat to measure ice thickness in advance of navigation season and the unofficial start of spring! As of Feb. 13, 18 miles of Lake Pepin were covered with 10- to 21-inches of ice. The navigation industry uses this data to help determine when to send tows north to St. Paul, as this portion of the Mississippi River is the final segment holding winter ice.
