In the last couple of cold days we have seen some good ice growth! Today (1/20/26) Ben drilled about 40 holes between the marina and Center reef area. When drilling in black clear ice spots he was finding 16 to 17 inches commonly. Where slush ice is layered on top it was thicker. The area on the south side of Coney Island that was 13.5 inches on 1/18 measured just over 14 inches today. That area by the island is the thinnest ice Ben is aware of on Lake Waconia other than around the springs.
We are allowing vehicles up to 1/2 ton trucks with reasonable sized tandem houses OR 1 ton or smaller trucks and vehicles with single axle houses on through our access at this time now.
On Thursday 1/22 we will let you know if we will be allowing big trucks with big houses.
See you on the ice!
