Lake Ida and Little Lake Ida are the best known Natural Ice skating areas in Canterbury, it has been a popular spot for years and usually has the most reliable ice. Little Lake Ida and Lake Ida used to be one Lake. The gravel scree as it continues to fall has slowly been increasing the gap between them.

There is a large A Framed building owned by the Lake Ida Skating Association,
