I think i read somewhere Black lake at 237 feet around Parrsboro.

 

Sherbrooke Lake has a deep hole off Tupper's Pt that is 94 ft

 

I've seen 91 ft in Mush-a-Mush.

 

Lochaber Lake reaches well over 150 ft.

I'm guessing 175-200ft at most.

Also Tangier Grand has about 100 ft. thats nothing compared to some granite lakes back in the woods!

Governor Lake (Dammed) has 130ft HFX County

 

Grand Lake (West Side) Hfx Co has a spot which drops into 160 Ft.
Lake William 94 Ft.

Lake Ainslie must be quite deep, isn't it?

 

Black lake near Oxford is the deepest lake in Nova Scotia. That fact used to be in the booklet on fishing rules.

 

Dollar lake has over 100 feet..

 

Folly lake i believe has one spot by the cement plant which is 94 feet, hart in behind folly has a spot around 110 feet.

 

I have also heard that Black Lake is the deepest lake in NS. I read an interesting survey a while ago on over 700 NS lakes, detailed info on depth and fish species. It was old from the 60's to the 80's though so I assume some of the fish assemblages have changed since then due to illegal stocking. Here are some of the maximum depths recorded by county Unfortuntaly I don't think Black and a couple were surveyed as part of it.

Annapolis- McGill Lake (around annapolis river)- 51 feet/15.6 meters
Antigonish- Lochaber Lake- 171 feet/52.4 meters
Cape Breton- Blacketts lake 98 feet/30 meters

I have heard that Sherbrooke, Black and Shields are very deep lakes but no depth data in the survey was taken for Sherbrooke and Black and Shileds weren't looked at at all.

 

In guysborough county I have been on lakes over 100 feet back in the woods... but they were never studied..
and Indian Harbour Lake thats listed doesn't have 88 feet, the indian harbour lake that has 88 feet is called 5th Lake (in the Indian Harbour Lake system. Look it up in the inventory maps , VERY COOL INFORMATION Laurie
