Yeah, this is interesting and I hadn't thought about it before. In MN on lakes that have barely frozen and then melted, or on lakes that are almost melted in the spring, you can mimic the "walking on water" trick. I used to do it all of the time as a kid. If you're more than 10 feet from shore, or if you're on a side of the lake with a lot of flow, the lake looks totally like water. In certain spots, however, there is standing water covering ice - usually about ankle deep. Thus you can't see the ice, but you can walk on it. >From any more than a few feet, it could appear like you're walking on water - it splashes and everything. Like I said, we used to do it all of the time.
