How deep is Lake Wintergreen?

Lake Wintergreen reaches a maximum depth of 28 feet in the CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 8 closed depth contours over about 42 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 12 ft line.

Where is the deepest part of Lake Wintergreen?

The deepest charted water on Lake Wintergreen lies inside the 28 ft contour, toward the southwestern corner of the lake. That contour encloses under an acre, 1.1% 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 Lake Wintergreen is shallower than 12 feet?

About half. The 12 ft contour encloses 20 acres of the roughly 42 acres inside the outer 0 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 12 feet. The sharpest drop is between 12 and 16 feet, where the mapped water sheds 11 acres.

How accurate is this Lake Wintergreen 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.

Lake Wintergreen depth map

Lake Wintergreen in Hamden, Connecticut reaches a depth of 28 feet. Lake Wintergreen is charted here across 8 closed depth contours, from the 0 ft line down to 28 ft, enclosing about 42 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 12 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.

Lake Wintergreen depth chart data: water enclosed by each contour
Depth contour	Water inside it	Share of mapped water
0 ft	42 acres	100%
4 ft	35 acres	84%
8 ft	27 acres	65%
12 ft	20 acres	48%
16 ft	9.2 acres	22%
20 ft	2.2 acres	5.3%
24 ft	1.2 acres	2.9%
28 ft	under 1 acre	1.1%

Acreages are computed from the closed CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 42 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 Lake Wintergreen: an evenly graded bottom

The survey encloses about 42 acres of Lake Wintergreen inside its 0 ft contour, and half of that water lies inside the 12 ft line, so the bottom loses depth gradually and evenly, with no broad shelf and no single abrupt drop. Between 12 and 16 ft the mapped water sheds 11 acres in 4 ft of depth, the sharpest change on the chart, start on that band, because it is where the bottom stops being flat. Inside the 28 ft contour there is under an acre of water, toward the southwestern corner of the lake: a single pocket rather than a basin, and worth a drift over in high summer. At 28 ft top to bottom, weed growth shapes this water more than depth does, but the 0.4-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 Lake Wintergreen

Shallow water like Lake Wintergreen is usually among the first to make safe ice, and with only 0.4 acres inside the 28 ft contour the fish have very little deep water to spread into once the weed beds die back. That hole, and the subtle single-contour depressions across the 42-acre basin, are where to start. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
