It's got me wondering... Do
most WW paddlers keep going till the ice forms, pack it in as soon as
the leaves turn, or what? I'd probably still go if it was closer,

Simple answer: temperature-wise, as long as the water is still moving,
you can find me on it, trying to paddle.

In practise, there are some limitations, one of them being a lack of
paddling buddies, or the amount of energy that it requires to get
paddling buddies to join me (I tend to prefer the company of others
when I'm paddling). Although sometimes my buddies don't like me to be
there with a camera when we paddle in the winter, just those wonderful
winter paddling pictures (if it doesn't snow too hard to take them :-)
) are sure worth it on their own, let alone seeing all of that live!

Look at the possibilities, don't worry about the limitations.
