Deepest point

Where exactly is the deepest point on the Lake. I'm told it's on the east side of Rattlesnake but I don't see anyplace 200+.

Between Welch Island and Lakeshore Park. Right about 200' at full lake.

it's at N 43 35.310 W 71 20.285 213 feet deep

The Bizer chart shows 213 ft about 1 mile off Carr Point by Ellacoya about where SCG pinned it.

I remember maybe 3-4 years ago we had headed out between Samoset and Diamond Island on the way to Ct. Harbor. Must have been right around where SCG pinned it and I just happened to glance at my Humminbird and saw 206' flash on briefly. Been over the area since but haven't hit it again.

Anybody been down to the bottom of deepest point?

nhcatrider · 06-21-2015, 08:12 AM

I have not, it starts getting dark at about 60 feet, we dropped to 75 and turned around, couldn't see what we were going to hit without lights. Maybe Diver1111?

200 ft would be a deep technical dive.

I've been to about 115 ft (maybe 120) in the past but deeper than that takes special training and procedures.

Many parts of the Lake are "lights out" below 60-70 feet, although I've been to 100+ where visibility has been okay. Not great, but okay. In some parts, it'll be pitch black at 60'...depends where you are. But there's a lot of organic material in the water, which cuts out the light pretty quickly. Seems the areas where the bottom is primary rock or glacial till are clearer. Also depends on the water temp, the season, the amount of daylight, algae blooms, etc.

And, as Rich said, 200' is usually a deco dive.

I'm actually quite surprised how...boring the bottom of the lake seems to be. All the videos I've seen were just flat mud. I thought for sure almost the whole bottom would be rocky.

Grant · 07-02-2015, 10:23 AM

Much of the bottom actually is rocky. Again, depends where you are. There are rock walls, glacial eractics, boulder fields, etc., all over the lake. It could even account for the majority of the bottom. Just depends where you're diving. If you want to see a really nice rock wall, there's one a little ways out from the S/W side of Parker Island. Another off Clark's Point Wolfeboro. Lots to see and explore.

A lot of very large rounded boulders off the East side of Timber Island.
