How deep is Mudge Pond?

Mudge Pond reaches a maximum depth of 32 feet in the CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 9 closed depth contours over about 206 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 20 ft line.

Where is the deepest part of Mudge Pond?

The deepest charted water on Mudge Pond lies inside the 32 ft contour, toward the eastern side of the lake. That contour encloses 5.3 acres, 2.6% 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 Mudge Pond is shallower than 20 feet?

About half. The 20 ft contour encloses 97 acres of the roughly 206 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 4 feet, where the mapped water sheds 46 acres.

How accurate is this Mudge 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.

Mudge Pond depth map

Mudge Pond in Sharon, Connecticut reaches a depth of 32 feet. Mudge Pond is charted here across 9 closed depth contours, from the 0 ft line down to 32 ft, enclosing about 206 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 20 ft line, and only 5.3 acres lie inside the deepest one. Every contour is on the interactive map below, free and without an account.

Mudge Pond depth chart data: water enclosed by each contour
Depth contour	Water inside it	Share of mapped water
0 ft	206 acres	100%
4 ft	160 acres	78%
8 ft	128 acres	62%
12 ft	118 acres	57%
16 ft	109 acres	53%
20 ft	97 acres	47%
24 ft	70 acres	34%
28 ft	36 acres	17%
32 ft	5.3 acres	2.6%

Acreages are computed from the closed CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 206 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 Mudge Pond: steep sides for its size

About 206 acres of Mudge Pond sit inside the survey's 0 ft contour, and half of that water is already gone by the 20 ft line: depth comes quickly here, with no long shallow margin before the bottom drops away. The steepest break on the chart runs from 0 down to 4 ft: 46 acres of bottom fall away across 4 ft there, which makes that band the first contour to work. The deepest 32 ft contour holds 5.3 acres, 2.6% of the mapped water, toward the eastern side of the lake. Nothing here reaches a true cold-water layer at 32 ft, so structure does the thermocline's work: the points and inside turns where the 0 and 4 ft lines pinch together fish hardest in early season, and again as fish follow bait back down in autumn.

Ice fishing on Mudge Pond

At 32 ft, Mudge Pond is a workable ice depth: deep enough to hold fish all winter without the slow freeze-up of a big basin. Start on the 32 ft hole, 5.3 acres of it, at first light, then move up onto the 0–4 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.
