How deep is Park Pond?

Park Pond reaches a maximum depth of 15 feet in the CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 6 closed depth contours over about 82 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 12 ft line.

Where is the deepest part of Park Pond?

The deepest charted water on Park Pond lies inside the 15 ft contour, toward the southeastern corner of the lake. That contour encloses 15 acres, 18% of the mapped water, so it is a broad slice of the bottom rather than a pinpoint target, the depth chart above gives the contour to line up on.

How much of Park Pond is shallower than 12 feet?

About half. The 12 ft contour encloses 35 acres of the roughly 82 acres inside the outer 0 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 12 feet. The sharpest drop is between 9 and 12 feet, where the mapped water sheds 21 acres.

How accurate is this Park 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.

Park Pond depth map

Park Pond in Winchester, Connecticut reaches a depth of 15 feet. Park Pond is charted here across 6 closed depth contours, from the 0 ft line down to 15 ft, enclosing about 82 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 12 ft line, and only 15 acres lie inside the deepest one. Every contour is on the interactive map below, free and without an account.

Park Pond depth chart data: water enclosed by each contour
Depth contour	Water inside it	Share of mapped water
0 ft	82 acres	100%
3 ft	73 acres	89%
6 ft	64 acres	78%
9 ft	56 acres	69%
12 ft	35 acres	43%
15 ft	15 acres	18%

Acreages are computed from the closed CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 82 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 Park Pond: steep sides for its size

About 82 acres of Park Pond sit inside the survey's 0 ft contour, and half of that water is already gone by the 12 ft line: depth comes quickly here, with no long shallow margin before the bottom drops away. The steepest break on the chart runs from 9 down to 12 ft: 21 acres of bottom fall away across 3 ft there, which makes that band the first contour to work. The deepest 15 ft contour holds 15 acres, 18% of the mapped water, toward the southeastern corner of the lake. At 15 ft top to bottom, weed growth shapes this water more than depth does, but the 15-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 Park Pond

Shallow water like Park Pond is usually among the first to make safe ice, and with only 15 acres inside the 15 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 82-acre basin, are where to start. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
