97-acre lake near Seven Ponds Twp. The lake tops out around 14 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, L Pond draws 97 acres inside 2.3 miles of shoreline. Index 1.7 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. The basin spans about 0.9 mi end to end and 0.4 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Franklin County. For a second option, Big Island Pond lies 1 mi north.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 14 ft. The depth story barely changes: 4 to 14 ft through summer, 2 to 14 ft in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 14 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
