Photos: Brookville Lake icing up during cold spell

(BROOKVILLE, Ind.) – We’re all dealing with the bitter cold and now the conditions are starting to show their effect on the Brookville Reservoir.

It’s the first time in about seven years that ice has started to form on the lake. 

Park Ranger Stephanie Ison said despite the rare occurrence, the dam is running smoothly and they are operating as usual.

Ison added that just because ice is forming, it doesn’t mean someone should attempt to walk on the lake.
