NOTE: Ice thickness updates will no longer be posted online. Our Natural Lands team will continue to measure ice thickness every Friday (or following major temperature changes) and will update the on-site signage at Princess Point.

• Locations of water current have thin ice. This includes creek mouths and next to the Fishway.
• Stay off the banks. Treating the area with respect includes staying off the islands and the shoreline banks along the wetland edge. The dry silty banks erode easily, even in winter. Belted Kingfishers and Bank Swallows tunnel into these slopes to nest each summer, but winter visitors can cause the slopes to collapse.
