In Towne Marina Lake Waconia Ice & Access Update - 2/24/23 - Access is open!

Our access is open again and a road is plowed from the marina to Center Reef and towards Pillsbury Reef (where we had it plowed before, but narrower). Getting off the road through the banks will be the most difficult part. Ben has plowed some off-shoots to help with that, but they are limited. Keep in mind, there are frozen snow banks from before that you’ll have to navigate through all over where roads and paths were in the past, so expect some speed bumps. Once you get off the road, the snow is soft and therefore easy enough to drive through with a capable 4WD or AWD vehicle. Be prepared with the necessary items if you get stuck. Bring a shovel, tow strap, sand (yes, it is still very slippery under the snow). If you’re bringing a permanent fish house out to the lake, it would be a good idea to check things out with just your truck first. Keep in mind we are a pay access, and our fees are for access use only. We are not a tow service.

We are done renting fish houses for the 2022/23 season. We appreciate all of you that rented with us!
