--- RICE LAKE WARNING NOTICE  ---

An Aeration System creating open water and thin ice will begin operating on the north side of Rice Lake beginning on November 11, 2002, or as soon thereafter as the lake is icebound.  Signs will be posted around the danger area; however, weather conditions may cause the areas of thin ice and open water to fluctuate greatly.  Stay clear of the marked area.

Due to the winter drawdown of Rice Lake, which commenced on October 3rd, the flow of Elm Creek through the lake may cause other areas to become unsafe. Use caution this winter if you are venturing onto the ice of Rice Lake.
