Fishing

Deep Lake is a 200 acre glacier lake and totally natural. The lake is such a good habitat; the reproduction rate ensures good fishing year after year. The deepest holes are 52 feet and 38 feet. The lake is rich in a variety of vegetation, structure, drop-offs, timber and flats. The top fish in Deep Lake is the largemouth bass.

Some known fishing hot spots on the lake include the North Bay and the Sand Bar. The sand bar area along the west shoreline is a good bass location.
