41-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 54 ft. The depth chart comes from Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1961, a decades-old survey (an MNRF lake survey). Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Traced from the shoreline, Kennedy L. runs 41 acres with 1.5 miles of edge. Index 1.6 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 60% of this chart. Figure 0.4 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Sudbury District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Leatherleaf Lake, 0 mi southeast of here.
Start shallow in spring: splake sit in 5 to 25 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 16 to 54 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 45 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 38 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) until the fish tell you otherwise.
