I paddle boated a couple of times on the McKinley Marina lagoon in the summertime, but today I wondered why I can’t skate on it in winter. Any idea?
There are multiple "danger thin ice" signs around the small body of water, but during the dead of winter, certainly it freezes enough to be a safe skating spot, doesn’t it?
I love skating at Red Arrow Park, but for me, the closer I am to the lake the happier I am, in both winter and summer.
So how about letting us lace up and figure eight it on the lagoon? Yes? No? Maybe?
