While traditional iceboating in Toronto Harbour has largely faded due to unreliable ice and busy shipping lanes, you can still occasionally spot activity in sheltered areas near the Toronto Islands.

This is a tidal pond. In the first picture, to the right, there is an inlet to what's now a culvert, but was once a creek to the ocean. Needless to say the ice varies in thickness. Behind me is now a road, where once a sand dune existed. Closer to the water...

It’s been my experience that sliding sport people are kind of excited to see any other kind of ice based sport? I haven’t asked around, although I do have my summer interview series starting up soon so I’ll ask

But generally people get into other semi-obscure winter sports

This winter was finally cold enough for the legendary race along the Navesink River. But who brought home the trophy?

imo frozen rivers/oceans are at least good purely because of iceboating also putting badlands so high up is honestly so real badlands are a great biome

Lake Geneva is one of the homes of modern iceboating.

The E-Skeeter class is crazy fast and thrilling.

Back in the days when we were young and full of pshht, we would put our dive wetsuits on, masks, fins and snorkels and play on that! Not any more but I would like to be iceboating.

We're cold here, as well (high of -6 C today), but less snow than you. I saw people iceboating on the lake yesterday. I'll be out walking with my son today wearing several layers. Hope you stay warm!

A lot of people don't believe me when I tell them that one of my best winter camping experiences was caused by like a thirty-degree overnight temperature DROP. We went from slogging through slush (on top of lake ice) to cruising across solid glass (and iceboating with sleds.)

Warming winters are not stopping ice sailors from chasing the ice

Warming winters are not stopping ice sailors from chasing the ice
The roots of iceboating in Wisconsin date back to the 1860s. People continue to gravitate to the winter sport — no matter how challenging conditions might be.

Interesting! Added excerpt with alt text. What is this from?

For whatever reason, I've always been enamored of iceboating.

So I wrote a story about ice strip drag racing on Pluto's frozen nitrogen plains. (Contains art, romance, tragedy, and healing.)

“STAY OFF GROOMED SURFACES” headlined the resurfacing status page as I skimmed alongside the track groomer, staying well clear of the hundred meter booms snowing frozen nitrogen onto the drag strip. C...

What to do on a cold, blustery winter day? Iceboating on a frozen lake, of course! Watch my friend The BikeFarmer on an exhilarating outing. youtu.be/HJLfKTxTK-Y?...

Earlier this week, I went iceboating. the deep freeze had created rare, perfect conditions on the Chesapeake. This sport is incredibly fast - we were doing 25 to 30 mph in modest winds - and incredibly fun. www.npr.org/2026/02/12/n...
Sick of freezing temperatures? For ice boaters, they've been a bonanza
The recent deep freeze across much of the U.S. has created one of the best opportunities in decades to sail ice boats across frozen bays and rivers — including the Chesapeake Bay.
