When I lived near that canal (1961-1974) they were very unhappy when 
people ice skated on it in the winter because they were afraid of 
liability. They started draining it for the winter in about 1972, to 
discourage ice skaters.

I was one of those ice skaters.

At that time the canal was part of the US national park system, and 
"they" was the Park Service.
