By definition, Perkins Pond Ice-Out when you can paddle from the North End's Chickadee Point to the South End's Piney Point.
The PPPA ice-out committee, Dundee, Mike and Steve, accompanied by Eric and Gavin, declared ice-out on April 20, 2019 at 7:40 PM when their three canoes successfully made a historic trek and declared 2019 Ice-Out as documented in the below video!
--The below videos show the process used to monitor 2019 Perkins Pond Ice-Out--
Update April 19, 2019 - No Ice-Out Declared.
Five of us (Dundee, Steve M, Mike D, Steve P plus Oliver) paddled in two canoes to south end of Pond Friday Apr 19, 2019 around 3 pm. Could not get close to Piney Point nor Leavitt cove. Ice was 6 inches think on the edges and we could not break through with our canoes. North end of Pond open with large sheets of ice floating pushed by high winds. We had life vests in our canoes, BUT should have been wearing them! No ice out declared for April 19th!
April 17, 2019 - No Ice-Out
