How deep is Wamplers Lake?

Wamplers Lake reaches a maximum depth of 39 feet in the Michigan DNR Inland Lake Contours survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 7 closed depth contours over about 785 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 15 ft line.

Where is the deepest part of Wamplers Lake?

The deepest charted water on Wamplers Lake lies inside the 39 ft contour, toward the eastern side of the lake. That contour encloses 4.5 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 Wamplers Lake is shallower than 15 feet?

About half. The 15 ft contour encloses 225 acres of the roughly 785 acres inside the outer 5 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 15 feet. The sharpest drop is between 5 and 10 feet, where the mapped water sheds 305 acres.

How accurate is this Wamplers 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.

Wamplers Lake depth map

Wamplers Lake in Lenawee County, Michigan reaches a depth of 39 feet. Wamplers Lake is charted here across 7 closed depth contours, from the 5 ft line down to 39 ft, enclosing about 785 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 15 ft line, and only 4.5 acres lie inside the deepest one. Every contour is on the interactive map below, free and without an account.

Wamplers Lake depth chart data: water enclosed by each contour
Depth contour	Water inside it	Share of mapped water
5 ft	785 acres	100%
10 ft	480 acres	61%
15 ft	225 acres	29%
20 ft	167 acres	21%
29 ft	25 acres	3.2%
35 ft	7.8 acres	1%
39 ft	4.5 acres	under 1%

Acreages are computed from the closed Michigan DNR Inland Lake Contours contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 785 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 Wamplers Lake: a broad shallow flat

About 785 acres of Wamplers 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 Lenawee County water is shallow and the depth is concentrated in one part of the basin. The steepest break on the chart runs from 5 down to 10 ft: 305 acres of bottom fall away across 5 ft there, which makes that band the first contour to work. 4.5 acres, under 1% of the mapped water, lie inside the deepest 39 ft contour, toward the eastern side of the lake. With 39 ft at its deepest there is no true cold-water layer here, so structure does the work the thermocline does elsewhere: fish the points and inside turns where the 5 and 10 ft lines pinch together, hardest in early season and again as fish follow bait back down in autumn.

Ice fishing on Wamplers Lake

Wamplers Lake's 39 ft is a workable ice depth, enough water to hold fish all winter, without the slow freeze-up of a big basin. First light belongs on the 39 ft hole, all 4.5 acres of it; as the sun gets up, move onto the 5–10 ft break, and spend the middle of the day on the flats inside the 15 ft line. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
