One could say that it's good luck to find the exact dates when the water is at its lowest and the beaches are at their widest. Many factors influence the timing of this long-awaited event for the people of the region! 

2026: The beaches reached their peak during the last two weeks of April.

2025: The beaches were well established and accessible throughout the entire month of April.

2024: By April 15, the beaches were at their best, and the lake refilled in less than 3 weeks.

2023: The beaches were very short-lived (2 to 3 days) due to heavy rainfall and flooding in the region.

2022: The last ice melted over the weekend of April 30 – May 1, and the lake refilled in under 4 weeks.

2021: The ice fully melted around May 8–9, and the lake took more than 2 months to refill.
