Early North Park ice.
Word arrives from veteran North Park angler Phil Small that ice has come early to the trout-rich lakes in the high valley around Walden. Small, a Fort Collins resident, reported finding East Delaney Butte Lake completely frozen over on a recent visit. South Delaney had only a limited amount of open water near mid-lake, while North Delaney, the largest and deepest of the three, was half frozen.
Antero closed to boats.
A buildup of ice has caused Denver Water to close Antero Reservoir to boating for the remainder of the season. The covering is not yet sufficient for ice fishing. Angling still is allowed from shore, where open.
