Provincial Police are urging local riders to use caution when venturing out as part of Snowmobile Safety Week.
OPP say excessive speed, driving too fast for the conditions and alcohol and drugs are top contributing factors in snowmobile deaths.
Sergeant Kerry Schmidt adds 40% of OPP-investigated fatal snowmobile incidents in the last 10 years have occurred on lakes and rivers.
Six people have lost their lives in Ontario snowmobile incidents so far this season, including three who died when their machines broke through the ice on Georgian Bay on January 17.
Schmidt says these latest incidents are a tragic reminder of the serious risks associated with snowmobiling on frozen waterways.

Ontario s Ministry of Transportation is advising of four highway closures in northwestern Ontario on Wednesday morning.
According to the ministry s Ontario 511 website, all closures are due to disabled vehicles.

To the east, there are two ongoing closures in the Nipigon area.
