It varies with the over all depth of the lake, so it is hard to tell what it is right now. This might take some doing but if you really want to find it this time of the year, I would suggest taking a power auger, start 3 to 4 hundred yards south of the light pole and start drilling holes. Start 50 to 75yds from the dike and drill a hole every 25 yds or so until you see the depth go 3 to 4 ft shallower. For an example, the water depth as you go away from the dike will be 15, 20, 25, then go the other way to 21'. When you see that difference in depth, you will know the drop off will be some where between the last two holes. Once you find the spot, go north and south along a line that parallels the dike and you will find the deepest part of the lake. If I had to guess, I would say it will be a max depth between 25 to 28 ft.
It has been a few years back but a group of BFT members did an outing in that location and fished the morning bite with no luck for our trouble. The ice was close to a foot thick but 6 inches of the top layer was slush, so it made for some scary walking as we left the ice that day. Walking down the dike was tough because snow covered
the rocks and if you hit the wrong spot you could sink in up to your knees or deeper, so be careful if you go.
