How deep is Crescent Pond?

Crescent Pond reaches a maximum depth of 15 feet in the CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 16 closed depth contours over about 50 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 11 ft line.

Where is the deepest part of Crescent Pond?

The deepest charted water on Crescent Pond lies inside the 15 ft contour, toward the southwestern corner of the lake. That contour encloses under an acre, under 1% 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 Crescent Pond is shallower than 11 feet?

About half. The 11 ft contour encloses 19 acres of the roughly 50 acres inside the outer 0 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 11 feet. The sharpest drop is between 10 and 11 feet, where the mapped water sheds 15 acres.

How accurate is this Crescent 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.

Crescent Pond depth map

Crescent Pond in Southington, Connecticut reaches a depth of 15 feet. Crescent Pond is charted here across 16 closed depth contours, from the 0 ft line down to 15 ft, enclosing about 50 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 11 ft line, and only under an acre 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 50 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 Crescent Pond: steep sides for its size

About 50 acres of Crescent Pond sit inside the survey's 0 ft contour, and half of that water is already gone by the 11 ft line: the bottom holds its depth well out from the bank rather than tapering off a long shallow margin. The steepest break on the chart runs from 10 down to 11 ft: 15 acres of bottom fall away across 1 ft there, which makes that band the first contour to work. The 15 ft contour, toward the southwestern corner of the lake, encloses under an acre of water, a single pocket rather than a basin, but one worth a drift over in high summer. Topping out at 15 ft, weed growth structures this water more than depth does, but the 0.1-acre deep spot still concentrates fish in the heat of summer, and the one-contour depressions on the chart are the ones most anglers row straight over.

Ice fishing on Crescent Pond

A shallow lake like Crescent Pond is usually among the first to make safe ice, and once the weed beds die back the fish have very little deep water to spread into: just 0.1 acres inside the 15 ft contour. Start there, then hunt the subtle single-contour depressions across the 50-acre basin. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
