As of October 1st, campsite electricity will be turned off for winter, except for Campers Point CP1-11, which has year-round electricity. Water access is also cut off, with the dump station remaining open year-round without water. Some restrooms will close, while boating caution is advised due to low lake capacity.

Spring breakup is underway at Tongue River Reservoir, with open water at both ramps and a few boats already out. But ice still blocks key stretches near the dam, between Sand Point and Pee Wee north, and at the far south end—limiting where you can safely travel right now. Here’s the latest access and ice update based on a recent FWP post.

Tongue River Marina reports 15–20 feet of open water off the ramp, with Marina Bay still mostly iced over but improving. More open water is showing from Rattlesnake south toward the mine as daytime temps warm—boat fishing could be just weeks away.
