Lakeville Lake depth map
Lakeville Lake in Oakland County, Michigan reaches a depth of 66 feet. Lakeville Lake is charted here across 5 closed depth contours, from the 5 ft line down to 50 ft, enclosing about 453 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 15 ft line, and only 1.1 acres lie inside the deepest one. Every contour is on the interactive map below, free and without an account.

| Depth contour | Water inside it | Share of mapped water |
|---|---|---|
| 5 ft | 453 acres | 100% |
| 10 ft | 315 acres | 70% |
| 15 ft | 13 acres | 2.9% |
| 30 ft | 8.1 acres | 1.8% |
| 50 ft | 1.1 acres | under 1% |
Acreages are computed from the closed Michigan DNR Inland Lake Contours contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 453 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. The survey also records a 66 ft sounding, marked as a point rather than a closed contour, so it is not charted as a band.
Fishing Lakeville Lake: a wide shallow flat over a deep hole
About 453 acres of Lakeville Lake sit inside the survey's 5 ft contour, and half of that water is already gone by the 15 ft line: most of this Oakland County water is shallow and the depth is concentrated in one part of the basin. The steepest break on the chart runs from 10 down to 15 ft: 302 acres of bottom fall away across 5 ft there, which makes that band the first contour to work. 1.1 acres, under 1% of the mapped water, lie inside the deepest 50 ft contour, toward the southeastern corner of the lake. At 66 ft this is two-story water: the basin can stay cold below the summer thermocline while warm-water fish stay up on the 5-to-15 ft ground, and the fish that move between the two do it along the 10–15 ft break at first and last light.
Ice fishing on Lakeville Lake
Deep water like Lakeville Lake freezes later and less evenly than the shallow lakes around it, and the winter bite sets up on the first real break, not out over the 50 ft hole. That edge is the 10–15 ft band on the chart above, where 302 acres of bottom tilt away, and panfish and walleye work up and down it through the day. By late ice the fish push back onto the 5-to-15 ft flat. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
Lakeville Lake depth map FAQs
- How deep is Lakeville Lake?
- Lakeville Lake reaches a maximum depth of 66 feet in the Michigan DNR Inland Lake Contours survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 5 closed depth contours over about 453 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 15 ft line. The 66 ft figure is a single recorded sounding rather than a closed contour, so the deepest line you can actually trace on the map is 50 ft.
- Where is the deepest part of Lakeville Lake?
- The deepest charted water on Lakeville Lake lies inside the 50 ft contour, toward the southeastern corner of the lake. That contour encloses 1.1 acres, under 1% 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 Lakeville Lake is shallower than 15 feet?
- About half. The 15 ft contour encloses 13 acres of the roughly 453 acres inside the outer 5 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 15 feet. The sharpest drop is between 10 and 15 feet, where the mapped water sheds 302 acres.
- How accurate is this Lakeville 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.
