An Ice Thickness reading was taken today on Whitney Point Lake by Dorchester Park personnel and we are advised that we now have 11 1/2 inches of ice. Given a weather forecast for moderately frigid temperatures for the next week, we are optimistic that we will be able to conduct the 2015 running of the Almost-Annual New York State Crappie Derby on Saturday, February 14, 2015.
Next Monday morning, February 9, 2015, an official measurement will be taken and the ice quality evaluated by Broome County Parks & Recreation. If the ice is deemed safe for the expected crowd, a “GO” will be given to the Whitney Point Sportsmen’s Association to conduct this years’ event. A more detailed Release will be published at that time.
The Derby is a family oriented event that allows everyone to get outdoors for a mid winter break. Please refer to our website for complete details.
