Join Us On The Ice In 2024!
We are looking forward to plowing and maintaining skating trails on Mascoma Lake for the fourth year! Stay tuned for early season skating and safety clinics!
Ice Safety is Everyone's Responsibility. Please review Ice Safety Video above and be prepared when on the ice!
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Skaters Role in Determining Ice Safety
- Similar to all other recreational activities on Mascoma Lake, skating is at the public's own risk.
- Conditions on Mascoma Lake can change quickly; ice thickness, can go from safe to unsafe overnight. We, the MLSA and the people providing plowing services, will not be monitoring, inspecting or testing ice thickness on a regular basis. Therefore, skaters must evaluate ice safety for themselves.
- DO NOT EVER SKATE NEAR OR UNDER THE BRIDGE. THIS ICE IS LESS THICK THERE AND NEVER CONSIDERED TO BE SAFE TO SKATE OR WALK ON.
- The MLSA is a community funded and volunteer run group. We clear areas of Mascoma Lake for skating with our goal to provide skating areas for families, free skating, pond hockey and Nordic trails. Please refer to ice safety charts for details and guidelines.
