Depth FAQ
How deep is Deer Lake?
Deer Lake is 18 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 5 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Is there a free depth map of Deer Lake?
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Deer Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from LakeList depth model survey data.
Where does the Deer Lake depth map come from?
The interactive depth contours are derived from LakeList depth model. Each contour set passes a visual QA review against the source document before it is published. The depths are a modeled estimate calibrated to the lake's documented maximum depth - not a survey, and not for navigation.
