Deep Lake sits near the top of the North Oaks chain of lakes, between Wilkinson and Pleasant Lakes. Classified as a shallow lake, at its deepest recorded depths, Deep Lake reaches 11 ft in depth, but it's average depth is under 5 feet.
How deep is a lake on average?
Most lakes have an average depth of about 10 meters. Depth can frequently predict the productivity of the lake, or how much photosynthesis it fosters, since a shallow lake will have greater exposure to both sunlight and nutrients3.
What is a deep lake?
If a lake is deep enough, typically a mean depth of 8 to 10 feet or greater, it can thermally stratify, which means the surface waters are a lot warmer than the deep waters.
