Rainy Lake, straddling the US-Canada border near International Falls, Minnesota


"The ice is out on Rainy Lake, and just in time for the fishing opener on May 9."

"The date falls in line with the historical trend of ice out days on Rainy Lake. Dating back to 1930, the ice has typically gone out on Rainy Lake in the last week of April or the first week of May."

“Factors like spring temperatures, ice thickness and the type of winter determine when the ice goes out. The ice is considered out on the first day a boat can travel from Rainy Lake’s Island View to Kettle Falls without being impeded by ice."
