cars were parked down by the water/launch there so you can drive down to the launch, i dont think docks were in but you could still launch there if you had more that one person in your boat

Thanks for the info.  I too have been wondering the status of the launch.

Know a guy that launched today. Docks are in

Be aware that if the ice field below the falls breaks up, getting back to shore may be a big problem.

Boom in place

Boom in lower niagra?

[Gill-T]

Boom is placed across the mouth of the upper river. They probably won’t pull it til mid April.

Part of the boom broke away in that wind storm. Not too much ice left on Erie anyway.

I flew over the lake Sunday and I would say 1/3 of lake has ice

Ok I wasn’t sure if that’s what you were referring to Gill-T, I think jimski is talking about the actual ice formed below the falls and the surrounding area. 3 years ago I was already out in 70 fow on Erie catching walleye, perch, and smallies casting a 3/8oz jighead with a 3” twister on it

Yes, the ice bridge below the falls will eventually come free and flow down river. The ice will break up in the rapids but it may ruin your day.
