Reminder: There is a litter pick-up this Saturday from 9AM to 12 PM at three locations in NWI. Scan the QR code on the flyer. Let the parking attendants at Hammond Lakefront Park and Rogers-Lakewood Park know you are there for the litter pick-up. Bring a 💧bottle.
We have more ice forming on the lake and being pushed up onshore which makes it hard to decide where the beach or shore end and the water begins. Therefore, all I can say is "STAY OFF the ICE!"
