Salt Creek Rural Park District

The Park District provides unsupervised lake ice skating on the east lake (Donut Lake) at the Twin Lakes Recreation Area (no skating is allowed on the west lake of the Twin Lakes Recreation Area). Skating will commence when the thickness of the lake ice reaches 7” throughout the lake. At that time, the red warning flags at the boathouse and the fishing piers will be changed to green and the lake will be open for skating. The lake will remain open until the ice deteriorates below 7” or the ice becomes soft and hollow. The Park District will also close the lake at anytime if it deems any ice conditions unsafe.

PLEASE DO NOT SKATE OUTSIDE THE ROPED OFF AREA.

The Park District provides ice fishing on the east lake (Donut Lake) at the Twin Lakes Recreation Area (no ice fishing is allowed on the west lake of the Twin Lakes Recreation Area). All ice fishermen should stop at the Twin Lakes Clubhouse and purchase a daily fishing pass before proceeding onto the lake. Fishing is only allowed in designated areas. No fishing will be allowed in the roped off areas of the ice skating rinks. All conditions for ice fishing (opening and closing of the lake for fishing) are the same as lake skating.
