How deep is Mohawk Pond?

Mohawk Pond reaches a maximum depth of 24 feet in the CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 9 closed depth contours over about 16 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 15 ft line.

Where is the deepest part of Mohawk Pond?

The deepest charted water on Mohawk Pond lies inside the 24 ft contour, toward the middle of the lake. That contour encloses under an acre, 1.4% 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 Mohawk Pond is shallower than 15 feet?

About half. The 15 ft contour encloses 7.6 acres of the roughly 16 acres inside the outer 0 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 15 feet. The sharpest drop is between 18 and 21 feet, where the mapped water sheds 3.3 acres.

How accurate is this Mohawk 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.

Mohawk Pond depth map

Mohawk Pond in Goshen, Connecticut reaches a depth of 24 feet. Mohawk Pond is charted here across 9 closed depth contours, from the 0 ft line down to 24 ft, enclosing about 16 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 15 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.

Mohawk Pond depth chart data: water enclosed by each contour
Depth contour	Water inside it	Share of mapped water
0 ft	16 acres	100%
3 ft	13 acres	77%
6 ft	11 acres	66%
9 ft	9.7 acres	60%
12 ft	9 acres	56%
15 ft	7.6 acres	47%
18 ft	5.9 acres	37%
21 ft	2.6 acres	16%
24 ft	under 1 acre	1.4%

Acreages are computed from the closed CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 16 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 Mohawk Pond: steep sides for its size

About 16 acres of Mohawk Pond sit inside the survey's 0 ft contour, and half of that water is already gone by the 15 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 18 down to 21 ft: 3.3 acres of bottom fall away across 3 ft there, which makes that band the first contour to work. The 24 ft contour, toward the middle 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 24 ft, weed growth structures this water more than depth does, but the 0.2-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 Mohawk Pond

A shallow lake like Mohawk 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 0.2 acres inside the 24 ft contour. Start there, then hunt the subtle single-contour depressions across the 16-acre basin. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
