29-acre lake in Bruce County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 3 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Conley Lake runs 29 acres with 0.9 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. Call it 0.3 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Bruce County. The nearest mapped water is Lymburner Lake, 1 mi to the southeast.
Spring yellow perch on Conley Lake hold shallow, usually 1 to 3 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 3 ft in summer, 1 to 3 ft once it turns cold.
