[cool][#0000FF]Fun is a relative term. Subject to the location and disposition of the beholder.
I always push the (tubing) envelope and try to get on the water in my float tube as the ice is breaking up. The fishing can be good (or bad). A couple of times I have had to throw a roostertail with my fins to race back into a harbor just ahead of a big sheet of ice being pushed by the wind after it changed direction. Getting caught between the rocks and the ice would be a nasty weight loss program.
Like many things in life, watching sheets of ice crashing into the shoreline is best from a safe distance.
