Warm weather stymies skating on iconic Winnipeg river trail

The Forks website said on Monday that skating trails are closed due to the warm weather, including both the Nestawaya River Trail and on-land skating trails.

If you were hoping to go for a skate on the trails at The Forks this week, the unseasonably warm temperatures mean you’ll have to hold off — temporarily.

According to The Forks website on Monday, it has closed its skating trails because of the warm weather, including both the Nestawaya River Trail and on-land skating trails, however the trails that are used for cross-country skiing, walking and cycling remain open.

Temperatures are expected to drop again this weekend, which should help toward getting the skating trails back to their regular frozen form.
