How deep is Hubbard Lake?

Hubbard Lake is more than 80 feet deep. The deepest contour in the Michigan DNR Inland Lake Contours survey is the 80 foot line, and the lake continues deeper inside it.

Where is the deepest part of Hubbard Lake?

The deepest charted water on Hubbard Lake lies inside the 80 ft contour, toward the middle of the lake. That contour encloses 13 acres, under 1% of the mapped water, so it is a small target on a big lake, the depth chart above gives the contour to line up on.

How much of Hubbard Lake is shallower than 50 feet?

About half. The 50 ft contour encloses 3,444 acres of the roughly 6,897 acres inside the outer 10 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 50 feet. The sharpest drop is between 60 and 70 feet, where the mapped water sheds 1,917 acres.

How accurate is this Hubbard Lake depth map?

The contours come from the Michigan DNR Inland Lake Contours 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.

Hubbard Lake depth map

Hubbard Lake in Alcona County, Michigan reaches a depth of more than 80 feet at its deepest surveyed contour. Hubbard Lake is charted here across 8 closed depth contours, from the 10 ft line down to 80 ft, enclosing about 6,897 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 50 ft line, and only 13 acres lie inside the deepest one. Every contour is on the interactive map below, free and without an account.

Acreages are computed from the closed Michigan DNR Inland Lake Contours contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 6,897 acres inside the outermost charted contour (the 10 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 Hubbard Lake: steep walls and a big basin

About 6,897 acres of Hubbard Lake sit inside the survey's 10 ft contour, and half of that water is already gone by the 50 ft line: depth comes quickly here, with no long shallow margin before the bottom drops away. The steepest break on the chart runs from 60 down to 70 ft: 1,917 acres of bottom fall away across 10 ft there, which makes that band the first contour to work. The deepest 80 ft contour holds 13 acres, under 1% of the mapped water, toward the middle of the lake. 80 ft of water makes this a two-story fishery: warm-water fish hold the 10-to-50 ft ground while the basin can stay cold below the summer thermocline, and the traffic between the two runs along the 60–70 ft break at first and last light.

Ice fishing on Hubbard Lake

Hubbard 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 80 ft hole. The 60–70 ft band on the chart above is that edge: 1,917 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 10-to-50 ft flat. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
