May 23, 2013 Lake Dillon Marinas are Open For Memorial Day Weekend

May 23, 2013 - Lake Dillon's ice is completely gone and the Marinas are open for the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

The Dillon Marina will be open for the three day weekend but will be closed for construction of the road into the marina on Tuesday through Friday.  Through the second week of June the Dillon Marina will only be open on Saturday and Sunday due to the re-construction of the road base into the marina. The road construction was delayed from May due to late season snow storms.

Frisco Marina is open for the season and is offering boat rentals including canoes, kayaks, stand-on-top boards, powerboats (runabouts, fishing boats,pontoon boats) and sailboats.

May 21,2013 Dillon Ice Melt Contest Ended as the Measuring Device Entered the Water May 20

May 21, 2013 - The ice is receding from Lake Dillon and the Summit County Rotary Club's Ice Melt measuring device entered the water yesterday, May 20.  This was well over 5 weeks past the date this event happened last year as then it entered the water on April 11. The late heavy snowfall in April helped to prolong the life of the ice covering the lake this year.
