How deep is Beach Pond?

Beach Pond reaches a maximum depth of 60 feet in the CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 11 closed depth contours over about 347 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 24 ft line.

Where is the deepest part of Beach Pond?

The deepest charted water on Beach Pond lies inside the 60 ft contour, toward the eastern side of the lake. That contour encloses 4.8 acres, 1.4% of the mapped water, so it is a small target on a small water, the depth chart above gives the contour to line up on.

How much of Beach Pond is shallower than 24 feet?

About half. The 24 ft contour encloses 159 acres of the roughly 347 acres inside the outer 0 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 24 feet. The sharpest drop is between 24 and 30 feet, where the mapped water sheds 70 acres.

How accurate is this Beach Pond depth map?

The contours come from the CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry survey, retrieved August 2026 and last rebuilt on August 19, 2026. Depths change over time with water levels and sediment, so treat this map as a planning guide for fishing, and never use it for navigation. Acreages are computed from the published contour geometry, not from a separate area survey, so read them as close approximations.

Beach Pond depth map

Beach Pond in Voluntown, Connecticut reaches a depth of 60 feet. Beach Pond is charted here across 11 closed depth contours, from the 0 ft line down to 60 ft, enclosing about 347 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 24 ft line, and only 4.8 acres lie inside the deepest one. Every contour is on the interactive map below, free and without an account.

Acreages are computed from the closed CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 347 acres inside the outermost charted contour (the 0 ft line), which is the outer edge of the mapped water, several state files carry no 0 ft shoreline line, so this is not the same as a share of the lake's published surface area.

Fishing Beach Pond: a stepped drop into deep water

About 347 acres of Beach Pond sit inside the survey's 0 ft contour, and half of that water is already gone by the 24 ft line: the bottom steps down contour by contour into the deep basin rather than shelving flat or plunging all at once. The steepest break on the chart runs from 24 down to 30 ft: 70 acres of bottom fall away across 6 ft there, which makes that band the first contour to work. 4.8 acres, 1.4% of the mapped water, lie inside the deepest 60 ft contour, toward the eastern side of the lake. At 60 ft this is two-story water: the basin can stay cold below the summer thermocline while warm-water fish stay up on the 0-to-24 ft ground, and the fish that move between the two do it along the 24–30 ft break at first and last light.

Ice fishing on Beach Pond

Deep water like Beach Pond freezes later and less evenly than the shallow lakes around it, and the winter bite sets up on the first real break, not out over the 60 ft hole. That edge is the 24–30 ft band on the chart above, where 70 acres of bottom tilt away, and panfish and walleye work up and down it through the day. By late ice the fish push back onto the 0-to-24 ft flat. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
