My son (4yo) went ice fishing with his kindergarten group. Nobody didn’t catch anything but I was told everyone had fun. I feel like s*it because I can’t do these things with him. But when he’s happy so am I
Near me, I see folks out on ice like this. I always wonder about the safety (especially when they have machines out there) but it looks like fun! I hope you can get out there sometime soon.
I’ve lived where you can skate on lakes and canals in the winter. If the ice is thick enough there’s no real concern. Here’s some info if you’d like to read more about how the ice is prepped and safety maintained on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa: https://ncc-ccn.gc.ca/blog/rideau-canal-skateway-creating-worlds-largest-skating-rink
That was pretty helpful! I have heard that the ice on some of the flat land lakes can be a few feet thick, and up higher can be 10+. I guess that is enough!
I also appreciated the polar bear weight unit 😄
