Take some pics while you trek and share them.
Curious question came to mind, do the great lakes freeze enough for people to be able to walk/skate on them? It would be so cool to be able to skate / play hockey on any of the great lakes!

Maybe some daredevils skate on the great lakes in winter but it is probably no advisable. You would need a long stretch of very cold weather.

Makes sense. Such large bodies of water take a long time of very cold weather to properly freeze. I'm assuming small lakes probably freeze over in the winter quite commonly in your neighborhood. We had that this past winter, I brought my kids skating on the local lake. Last time this happened (ice thick enough for walking/skating) was probably back in early 2017 or 2018, I don't remember exactly.
