We drilled about 50 holes today (1/5/24) for another quick ice update. On our check we headed out toward Center Reef, turned toward Harm’s point and then back to the Marina. 12.5 to 13 inches was most of what we measured. The ice is “leveling out” and getting more consistent in thickness.
We opened our access to cars and trucks up to ½ ton pick-ups to use our access. We will NOT be allowing cars and trucks to tow houses behind them yet. ATV's and Side by Sides for pulling single axle houses is allowed for now.
Before driving out on the ice, if you have not been keeping up with our reports this season, either re-read our previous posts from this winter or stop in to talk with us about areas to avoid going.
Access fees per day are $2 to walk on (per person 16 years and older) and $5 to drive on (ATVs, Side-by-Sides, Snowmobiles, Cars and Trucks). A Winter Access Season Pass is $40.

In Towne Marina Lake Waconia Ice Report - 1/4/25
Happy Saturday! The ice growth continues during this good cold stretch. Today (1/4/25), Ben drilled a bunch of holes and found ice thicknesses ranging between 11.5 to 12.5 inches. So, from yesterday to today we gained about an inch of ice! Excellent news! For today, we will still only be allowing ATV’s and Side-by-Sides with single-axle wheelhouses through our access.
Knowing we’ll make even more ice overnight, tomorrow (1/5/25) we will be allowing cars and trucks up to ½ ton pick-ups to use our access. We will NOT be allowing cars and trucks to tow houses behind them yet.

In Towne Marina Lake Waconia Ice Report - 1/3/25
Happy Friday! Avery was on the ice yesterday and Ben joined him today for some ice thickness checking. This cold is helping build ice back. Yesterday Avery found between 10 to 11 inches of ice. Today they found 10.5 to 11.5 inches with a lot of it around 11.
Since the ice thicknesses are growing, we are now allowing ATV’s and Side-by-Sides with Single Axle fish houses. No Tandems yet. We are NOT allowing cars or trucks to use the access yet either. We’ll let you know when we have enough ice for that.
We’ll see you on the ice!

Quick reminder, as we've mentioned before, we no longer sell fishing licenses or fish house licenses.
We’ll see you on the ice!
