About Lake Mary
Lake Mary is a consistent bass fishery tucked into Lincoln County — the kind of lake that rewards anglers who know it, a intimate 25-acre lake reaching 42 feet at its deepest. Access is limited, which keeps boat traffic low — a plus for solitude seekers. Anglers primarily target Largemouth Bass.
