Yes, but only the back cove past the highway is safe ice.

Hi!
Any ice that is subjected to water flow under it, also rise and fall of the tide, is ice you should be VERY WARY of :!:
Note: There is tidal effect on the Connecticut River all the way up to Windsor Locks.
Past 2 years fishermen up on the Great Lakes got caught drifting out into the main lake on an ice flow that broke off from the land.
Had to be rescued by boat and helicopter -> Many lost all their gear as well as ATV's and Snowmobiles.
Fact is, You should never trust any ice anywhere because it doesn't freeze uniformly and weak spots can occur from underwater springs, running water, and other sources.
Also the rule of thumb on ice safety is "NEVER" go out on ice less then 4 inches thick.
Also "NEVER!...EVER!" go alone and have all your safety gear with you!
