I know, it's so cool to walk on too because you see the water and fishes too all living underneath. @silvergingerman freaked out a little but he managed...lol. It's like the biggest water reservoir in the province so it's a bit dangerous and you have to be careful of a few things when you are walking like shelf ice and stuff. It depends on the year and temperature obviously but end of January is generally a good time and the ice is about 2 feet thick so there is nice bubble columns formations on a good portion of it and you end up with 2 layers of cracked ice that adds to the pictures. Anything after mid feb, then the ice is beat up from the wind so it's not as nice. I forgot to mention, It's close-ish to Nordeg/Rocky Mountain House area(behind Jasper National Park) if that's a place you want to visit/stay.
