The rivers, on the straight and narrow, are great for skating and sledding. Someone in this community clears it off! This is near Richmond.
Someone went through the ice, on the Ottawa River, though. I'd be paranoid.

You have to wonder how much drink might have been involved in these sad incidents.
There are a lot of snowmobilers here on the lake. My neighbour heads up a club which emphasizes safety. I have little interest in the sport though I wouldn't mind trying it once.. just to say that I have.
I'd be very cautious about rivers. I don't even cross the Rideau River in town, even though you can see people do. Unlike the Canal, that water current isn't harnessed.
Speaking of sledding the old fashioned way, I heard somewhere on the news that some towns are not allowing sledding on public property because of accidents that have led to law suits. I can understand their fear of that, but how restrictive. - Margy
These sleds are overpowered and have speeds that are far to fast for the sledder's brains.

With power behind them one can 'get' that such accidents will occur... we had a death two weeks ago of a young teacher who was out on a traditional 'push-me-doon-the-hill' sled; not even a big hill at that; in a Glasgow park. Tumbled off, hit her head. Fiance left grieving... now there are all sorts of petitions for there to be a law about wearing helmets for this traditional winter activity. Sigh...YAM xx
This must be more of a Canadian thing. I haven't heard much about it in Illinois. And well... certainly not in Hawaii.
