Yes, the ice is thick all the way to the middle shipping channel. I took my family and a bunch of my kids' friends out yesterday. We started out over by National Harbour and were able to skate under the Wilson bridge all the way to Jones Point in Alexandria.
There were a ton of people out. A couple of great pick-up hockey games over by Blue Plains and Bolling. We even saw some people with SUVs out on the ice driving around (a little dangerous, but it looked like fun).
Definitely thick enough ice.
