How deep is Rogers Lake?

Rogers Lake reaches a maximum depth of 60 feet in the CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 11 closed depth contours over about 259 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 18 ft line.

Where is the deepest part of Rogers Lake?

The deepest charted water on Rogers Lake lies inside the 60 ft contour, toward the northeastern corner of the lake. That contour encloses 6.1 acres, 2.4% 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 Rogers Lake is shallower than 18 feet?

About half. The 18 ft contour encloses 107 acres of the roughly 259 acres inside the outer 0 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 18 feet. The sharpest drop is between 0 and 6 feet, where the mapped water sheds 100 acres.

How accurate is this Rogers Lake 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.

Rogers Lake depth map

Rogers Lake in Lyme, Connecticut reaches a depth of 60 feet. Rogers Lake is charted here across 11 closed depth contours, from the 0 ft line down to 60 ft, enclosing about 259 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 18 ft line, and only 6.1 acres lie inside the deepest one. Every contour is on the interactive map below, free and without an account.

Rogers Lake depth chart data: water enclosed by each contour
Depth contour	Water inside it	Share of mapped water
0 ft	259 acres	100%
6 ft	159 acres	61%
12 ft	131 acres	50%
18 ft	107 acres	41%

60 ft	6.1 acres	2.4%

Acreages are computed from the closed CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 259 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 Rogers Lake: a stepped drop into deep water

The survey encloses about 259 acres of Rogers Lake inside its 0 ft contour, and half of that water lies inside the 18 ft line, so the drop to the deep basin comes in stages, each contour giving up another slice of water, rather than in one abrupt wall. Between 0 and 6 ft the mapped water sheds 100 acres in 6 ft of depth, the sharpest change on the chart, start on that band, because it is where the bottom stops being flat. The deepest 60 ft contour holds 6.1 acres, 2.4% of the mapped water, toward the northeastern corner of the lake. 60 ft of water makes this a two-story fishery: warm-water fish hold the 0-to-18 ft ground while the basin can stay cold below the summer thermocline, and the traffic between the two runs along the 0–6 ft break at first and last light.

Ice fishing on Rogers Lake

Rogers Lake freezes later and less evenly than the shallow waters around it, and the winter bite sets up on the first real break rather than out over the 60 ft hole. The 0–6 ft band on the chart above is that edge: 100 acres of bottom tilt away there, and panfish and walleye slide up and down it through the day. Late ice pushes fish back onto the 0-to-18 ft flat. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
