What does less ice mean for Adirondack lakes?
A warming climate in the Adirondack region is causing a shorter duration of ice cover on regional lakes each winter. There are a variety of ecological, economic, and social impacts that result from reduced ice cover. They range from a reduction in opportunities to ice fish to alterations in habitat availability for fish during the summer months.
