The Municipality of Bluewater is cautioning residents to enjoy Lake Huron from a distance during the cold season.
As ice begins to form along the shoreline, municipal officials say the lake is best enjoyed safely from a distance.
In a news release, officials warn ice on the lake can seem like an extension of the shoreline, but are sometimes not safe to walk on.
“Unlike the ice that forms over bodies of standing water, ice forming over the Great Lakes is thinner and less stable because the lake is always moving beneath it,” the release reads.
“What appears to be thick, stable ice, can hide large cracks or caverns.”
