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! 

In 2024, beaches were at their peak by April 15, and the lake took less than 3 weeks to fill.

In 2023, beaches lasted 2-3 days due to heavy rains and flooding in the region. 

In 2022, the last ice melted on the weekend of April 30 - May 1, and the lake took less than 4 weeks to fill.

In 2021, the last ice melted around May 8-9, and the lake took more than 2 months to fill.

Will you be there next year?
