19-acre pond near SANDOWN. The lake tops out around 10 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
On the chart, LILY POND (ROCKINGHAM) draws 19 acres inside 0.7 miles of shoreline.

Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. The water lies in Rockingham County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Phillips Pond, 1 mi south of here.
