About Elmwood Resort
Lake Mary
Elmwood Resort is located on the west shores of Lake Mary. Lake Mary is one of the larger lakes in the Alexandria Lakes Area. It covers close to 3,000 acres, is about 5 miles long and 1¼ miles wide. Average depth of the lake is about 24 feet, although there or areas where the depth goes to 40 feet. Its waters are very clean and clear with water clarity of 6½ feet. Over half of the shoreline of Lake Mary is still undeveloped which enhances its natural beauty.
Fishing is very popular on Lake Mary. There are excellent populations of walleye, bass, northern, crappie and sunfish. Spring is the best time for the elusive walleye and summer months you'll find plenty of panfish, northern, walleye and bass. Alexandria is known as the Bass Capitol of Minnesota and Lake Mary is one of the reasons why.
You'll find Lake Mary to be an excellent lake for water sports of all kinds. Its clean, clear water and sandy bottom are great for swimming. There is plenty of open water with few obstructions for boating, water skiing and personal watercraft. With its larger size and not being as developed as some other lakes in the area, you'll find Lake Mary will not be overpopulated with watercraft.
