How deep is Wethersfield Cove?

Wethersfield Cove 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 89 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 12 ft line.

Where is the deepest part of Wethersfield Cove?

The deepest charted water on Wethersfield Cove lies inside the 15 ft contour, toward the middle of the lake. That contour encloses 7.1 acres, 7.9% 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 Wethersfield Cove is shallower than 12 feet?

About half. The 12 ft contour encloses 32 acres of the roughly 89 acres inside the outer 0 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 12 feet. The sharpest drop is between 12 and 15 feet, where the mapped water sheds 25 acres.

How accurate is this Wethersfield Cove 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.

Wethersfield Cove depth map

Wethersfield Cove in Wethersfield, Connecticut reaches a depth of 15 feet. Wethersfield Cove is charted here across 6 closed depth contours, from the 0 ft line down to 15 ft, enclosing about 89 acres of water.

Wethersfield Cove depth chart data: water enclosed by each contour
Depth contour	Water inside it	Share of mapped water
0 ft	89 acres	100%
3 ft	74 acres	83%
6 ft	64 acres	72%
9 ft	53 acres	60%
12 ft	32 acres	36%
15 ft	7.1 acres	7.9%

Acreages are computed from the closed CT DEEP Lake Bathymetry contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 89 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 Wethersfield Cove: steep sides for its size

The survey encloses about 89 acres of Wethersfield Cove inside its 0 ft contour, and half of that water lies inside the 12 ft line, so depth comes quickly here, with no long shallow margin before the bottom drops away. Between 12 and 15 ft the mapped water sheds 25 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. The deepest 15 ft contour holds 7.1 acres, 7.9% of the mapped water, toward the middle of the lake. At 15 ft top to bottom, weed growth shapes this water more than depth does, but the 7.1-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 Wethersfield Cove

Shallow water like Wethersfield Cove is usually among the first to make safe ice, and with only 7.1 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 89-acre basin, are where to start. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
