Colorado Parks and Wildlife is warning anglers of life-threatening ice conditions at Eleven Mile State Park.
CPW said in a press release, “The reservoir is experiencing unprecedented, dangerous pressure ridges. Park rangers estimate the most unstable ice conditions by Witcher’s Cove and Coyote Ridge.”
While there have been no injuries after several people have fallen through the ice, anglers are at particular risk. Officials recommend those ice fishing to fish in huts, with at least two anglers in a hut.
Anglers are advised to call the Eleven Mile State Park Office to get the latest updates on current ice conditions.
