How deep is Maltby Lake #2?

Maltby Lake #2 reaches a maximum depth of 30 feet in the CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 7 closed depth contours over about 23 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 20 ft line.

Where is the deepest part of Maltby Lake #2?

The deepest charted water on Maltby Lake #2 lies inside the 30 ft contour, toward the northeastern corner of the lake. That contour encloses under an acre, 3.3% 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 Maltby Lake #2 is shallower than 20 feet?

About half. The 20 ft contour encloses 8.8 acres of the roughly 23 acres inside the outer 0 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 20 feet. The sharpest drop is between 0 and 5 feet, where the mapped water sheds 5 acres.

How accurate is this Maltby Lake #2 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.

Maltby Lake #2 depth map

Maltby Lake #2 in West Haven, Connecticut reaches a depth of 30 feet. Maltby Lake #2 is charted here across 7 closed depth contours, from the 0 ft line down to 30 ft, enclosing about 23 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 20 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.

Maltby Lake #2 depth chart data: water enclosed by each contour
Depth contour	Water inside it	Share of mapped water
0 ft	23 acres	100%
5 ft	18 acres	79%
10 ft	15 acres	66%
15 ft	12 acres	53%
20 ft	8.8 acres	38%
25 ft	5 acres	22%
30 ft	under 1 acre	3.3%

Acreages are computed from the closed CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 23 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 Maltby Lake #2: steep sides for its size

The survey encloses about 23 acres of Maltby Lake #2 inside its 0 ft contour, and half of that water lies inside the 20 ft line, so depth comes quickly here, with no long shallow margin before the bottom drops away. Between 0 and 5 ft the mapped water sheds 5 acres in 5 ft of depth, the sharpest change on the chart, start on that band, because it is where the bottom stops being flat. Inside the 30 ft contour there is under an acre of water, toward the northeastern corner of the lake: a single pocket rather than a basin, and worth a drift over in high summer. Nothing here reaches a true cold-water layer at 30 ft, so structure does the thermocline's work: the points and inside turns where the 0 and 5 ft lines pinch together fish hardest in early season, and again as fish follow bait back down in autumn.

Ice fishing on Maltby Lake #2

At 30 ft, Maltby Lake #2 is a workable ice depth: deep enough to hold fish all winter without the slow freeze-up of a big basin. Start on the 30 ft hole, 0.8 acres of it, at first light, then move up onto the 0–5 ft break as the sun gets up, and fish the flats inside the 20 ft line through the middle of the day. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
