Ice-clearing on St. Lawrence River warrants restrictions, warnings

Posted

Ice-clearing activities will begin on or about March 16 and continue throughout the St. Lawrence River, including the area between the Eisenhower and Snell Locks in preparation for the Seaway’s upcoming navigation season.

All ice fishermen, snowmobile operators, and All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) operators should refrain from using the areas where ice has been cleared to avoid numerous open water leads and unstable ice cover caused by the clearing.

All persons, including ice fishermen, snowmobile and All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) operators, are to refrain from using the canal in the area between the Eisenhower and Snell Locks due to the possibility of unstable ice cover.

The Montreal-Lake Ontario section of the St. Lawrence Seaway is scheduled to open at 8 a.m., March 22.
