There is enough ice on Lake Carnegie to allow skating, according to information from the municipality of Princeton. As of Wednesday morning, skaters and walkers anxious to get out onto the lake were permitted because of the more than five-inch-thick layer of ice that is a result of recent below-freezing temperatures.

Smoyer Pond and Community Park North Pond are still off limits. Skaters and walkers are allowed on the ice from 10 a.m. to dusk, between the bridges on Washington Road and Harrison Street.

Skating and walking are permitted at one’s own risk only when white flags are flying from the poles at the boathouse near the Washington Road bridge and at the Harrison Street bridge. Skaters are urged to check the town’s website, www.princetonnj.gov, or call the Recreation Department’s hotline at (609) 688-2054, for daily updates, as conditions can change.
