How deep is Killingly Pond?

Killingly Pond reaches a maximum depth of 21 feet in the CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 8 closed depth contours over about 123 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 18 ft line.

Where is the deepest part of Killingly Pond?

The deepest charted water on Killingly Pond lies inside the 21 ft contour, toward the northeastern corner of the lake. That contour encloses 1.2 acres, 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 Killingly Pond is shallower than 18 feet?

About half. The 18 ft contour encloses 31 acres of the roughly 123 acres inside the outer 0 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 18 feet. The sharpest drop is between 15 and 18 feet, where the mapped water sheds 32 acres.

How accurate is this Killingly 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.

Killingly Pond in Killingly, Connecticut reaches a depth of 21 feet. Killingly Pond is charted here across 8 closed depth contours, from the 0 ft line down to 21 ft, enclosing about 123 acres of water.

Killingly Pond depth chart data: water enclosed by each contour
Depth contour	Water inside it	Share of mapped water
0 ft	123 acres	100%
3 ft	115 acres	94%
6 ft	105 acres	86%
9 ft	93 acres	76%
12 ft	80 acres	65%
15 ft	63 acres	52%
18 ft	31 acres	25%
21 ft	1.2 acres	1%

Acreages are computed from the closed CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 123 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 Killingly Pond: steep sides for its size

About 123 acres of Killingly Pond sit inside the survey's 0 ft contour, and half of that water is already gone by the 18 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 15 down to 18 ft: 32 acres of bottom fall away across 3 ft there, which makes that band the first contour to work. 1.2 acres, 1% of the mapped water, lie inside the deepest 21 ft contour, toward the northeastern corner of the lake. Topping out at 21 ft, weed growth structures this water more than depth does, but the 1.2-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 Killingly Pond

A shallow lake like Killingly 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 1.2 acres inside the 21 ft contour. Start there, then hunt the subtle single-contour depressions across the 123-acre basin. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
