Hi Summerside,

Although this is the time of year when many people want to start using the lake as we’re experiencing
warmer weather, there may still be an elevated risk due to cold water temperatures.

As indicated in the information about our flag system, which can be found on our
website, yellow flags mean the following:
Potential elevated risk of using the lake. The lake is open, but please check the SSRA website prior to use for details regarding increased risk, and exercise caution and discretion prior to and/or during use.

If choosing to use the lake we strongly recommend a PFD, reading through the following information,
and exercising extreme caution. A reminder that it is used at your own risk.
