flag Maine's lakes, including Salmon Lake, are seeing shorter ice seasons due to faster warming, threatening winter activities and lake health.

flag Maine's lakes are experiencing shorter ice seasons due to climate change, with Salmon Lake seeing its shortest ice season in 34 years at just 67 days. flag Lakes statewide are warming twice as fast as the air, by 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit per decade since the 1980s, leading to earlier ice-out dates and later ice-in dates. flag This trend threatens winter recreation like ice fishing and affects lake health by reducing oxygen levels and promoting algae growth. flag By 2050, Maine’s temperature could rise by 2 to 4 degrees Fahrenheit, further altering the winter landscape.
