How deep is Lake Alice?

Lake Alice reaches a maximum depth of 51 feet in the Michigan DNR Inland Lake Contours survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 11 closed depth contours over about 46 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 25 ft line.

Where is the deepest part of Lake Alice?

The deepest charted water on Lake Alice lies inside the 51 ft contour, toward the southwestern corner of the lake. That contour encloses 1.7 acres, 3.8% 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 Lake Alice is shallower than 25 feet?

About half. The 25 ft contour encloses 19 acres of the roughly 46 acres inside the outer 5 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 25 feet. The sharpest drop is between 50 and 51 feet, where the mapped water sheds 2.8 acres.

How accurate is this Lake Alice 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.

Lake Alice depth map

Lake Alice in Baraga County, Michigan reaches a depth of 51 feet. Lake Alice is charted here across 11 closed depth contours, from the 5 ft line down to 51 ft, enclosing about 46 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 25 ft line, and only 1.7 acres lie inside the deepest one. Every contour is on the interactive map below, free and without an account.

Lake Alice depth chart data: water enclosed by each contour
Depth contour	Water inside it	Share of mapped water
5 ft	46 acres	100%
10 ft	39 acres	86%
15 ft	35 acres	76%
20 ft	29 acres	64%
25 ft	19 acres	41%

51 ft	1.7 acres	3.8%

Acreages are computed from the closed Michigan DNR Inland Lake Contours contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 46 acres inside the outermost charted contour (the 5 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 Lake Alice: an evenly graded bottom

The survey encloses about 46 acres of Lake Alice inside its 5 ft contour, and half of that water lies inside the 25 ft line, so the bottom loses depth gradually and evenly, with no broad shelf and no single abrupt drop. Between 50 and 51 ft the mapped water sheds 2.8 acres in 1 ft of depth, the sharpest change on the chart, start on that band, because it is where the bottom stops being flat. The deepest 51 ft contour holds 1.7 acres, 3.8% of the mapped water, toward the southwestern corner of the lake. Nothing here reaches a true cold-water layer at 51 ft, so structure does the thermocline's work: the points and inside turns where the 50 and 51 ft lines pinch together fish hardest in early season, and again as fish follow bait back down in autumn.

Ice fishing on Lake Alice

At 51 ft, Lake Alice is a workable ice depth: deep enough to hold fish all winter without the slow freeze-up of a big basin. Start on the 51 ft hole, 1.7 acres of it, at first light, then move up onto the 50–51 ft break as the sun gets up, and fish the flats inside the 25 ft line through the middle of the day. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
