New Durham Ice Thickness

The New Durham Fire Department held a Cold Water Training exercise over the weekend at various locations in Town. Mark Taylor, Head of NDFD Emergency Management has issued the following warning for recreational access to ice covered bodies of water. Due to temperature swings, many local bodies of water are not frozen adequately for recreational activities. Please use caution and check ice thickness before traversing the ice. A minimum of 4 inches of new clear ice is needed for activities such as skating and ice fishing. Please remember – No Ice Is Safe Ice.
