Keep Using Your Pond After it Freezes

Winter is quickly approaching and everyone knows that in the Midwest that means the trees start losing leaves, the days are shorter and the weather is colder.  It also means that anyone who owns a pond will start to see the water freezing, putting an end to summertime pond activities.  Some people may think that this means that the pond will not be enjoyed for a few months, but actually quite the opposite is true.  There are many winter pond activities that can be enjoyed for the days that the pond is frozen.

One activity that can be lots of fun is ice skating.  It is important to make sure that the pond is completely frozen and has a thick layer of ice before any one goes out onto the ice, once the ice reaches the desired thickness, ice skating makes for a perfect winter time pond activity.  Another great winter pond activity is ice fishing.  Ice fishing is enjoyed by thousands of people all around the country, especially people in colder climates, where bodies of water are frozen almost as many days as they are thawed.  Another benefit of a frozen pond is the beauty.  Obviously a pond can be and is beautiful during the summer months when the water is crystal blue and vegetation is growing, but there is also something just as beautiful about a clean sheet of ice covering the pond.
