Lake Mary Ronan Ice Update 2.27.25

Local anglers are sharing firsthand reports on Lake Mary Ronan’s ice conditions—here’s one report..

According to reports from local fishing groups and anglers who were at Lake Mary Ronan, the ice conditions are holding strong with about 8–10 inches of solid ice. While the top couple of inches are soft, ATVs and snowmobiles were seen all over the lake throughout the day, showing that the ice is still supporting activity. It’s a good idea to check conditions for yourself, but for now, it looks like Lake Mary Ronan is still in good shape for winter fishing. Always be cautious!
