DETROIT LAKES (KDLM) – The Ice Palace along the Detroit Lakes City Beach is now a heap of rubble.
The Palace, which took about 3 weeks to construct was built with around 2,000 blocks of ice harvested directly for Little Detroit Lake. It took just over an hour for the palace to be taken down, Tuesday afternoon with heavy machinery. About 1 million pounds of Ice was pushed over, crushed, and moved down to the lake to thaw.
Thousands of Lakes Area residents and vacationers visited the palace which was around 95 feet long, 24 feet deep and 32 feet high, nearly double the length of the first ice palace built in 2018.
