Ice Skating Now Open

Ice skating rinks on Lake Zurich are located in Paulus Park near the fishing pier.  Ice skating is available during park hours from dawn until 9 p.m.

A flag system is used to indicate when it is safe to skate on the lake.

A green flag indicates the ice is safe for skating and six or more inches of thickness is present.  A red flag indicates no ice skating is permitted as the ice is not thick enough. 

Call 847-438-5146 ext. 9 for updated skating conditions.  If there is not a current update, the message that you hear is the current condition.

If you see someone fall through the ice, call 911 and wait for emergency personnel to arrive.  Do not go out on the ice as you may become a second victim.

Bring your ice fishing rod and try your luck at the free Family Ice Fishing Derby on Sunday, February 15.  Registration begins at 12:30 pm and the fishing derby runs from 1:00 pm - 230 pm.  Participants should report to the fishing pier at Paulus Park.

Lake Zurich is stocked with bluegill, largemouth bass, northern pike, white crappie, yellow bullhead, and yellow perch.  Holes will be pre-drilled into the ice for participants and trophies will be awarded.  This is a catch and release event for all ages.  We will have free hot cocoa while supplies last. 

For more information, please call the Parks and Recreation Department at 847-438-5146.
