How deep is Millers Pond?

Millers Pond reaches a maximum depth of 18 feet in the CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 7 closed depth contours over about 32 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 18 ft line.

Where is the deepest part of Millers Pond?

The deepest charted water on Millers Pond lies inside the 18 ft contour. That contour encloses under an acre, 1.3% 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 Millers Pond is shallower than 18 feet?

About half. The 18 ft contour encloses 0.4 acres of the roughly 32 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 16 acres.

How accurate is this Millers 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.

Millers Pond depth map

Millers Pond in Durham, Haddam, Connecticut reaches a depth of 18 feet. Millers Pond is charted here across 7 closed depth contours, from the 0 ft line down to 18 ft, enclosing about 32 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 18 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.

Millers Pond depth chart data: water enclosed by each contour
Depth contour	Water inside it	Share of mapped water
0 ft	32 acres	100%
3 ft	30 acres	94%
6 ft	27 acres	83%
9 ft	24 acres	75%
12 ft	21 acres	65%
15 ft	16 acres	51%
18 ft	under 1 acre	1.3%

Acreages are computed from the closed CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 32 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 Millers Pond: steep sides for its size

The survey encloses about 32 acres of Millers Pond inside its 0 ft contour, and half of that water lies inside the 18 ft line, so depth comes quickly here, with no long shallow margin before the bottom drops away. Between 15 and 18 ft the mapped water sheds 16 acres in 3 ft of depth, the sharpest change on the chart, start on that band, because it is where the bottom stops being flat. Inside the 18 ft contour there is under an acre of water: a single pocket rather than a basin, and worth a drift over in high summer. At 18 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 Millers Pond

Shallow water like Millers Pond is usually among the first to make safe ice, and with only 0.4 acres inside the 18 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 32-acre basin, are where to start. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
