I concur with this as well. I too have trolled over the deepest point on numerous occasions and my sonar readings duplicate yours at just over 200’…

I have measured what I believe to be the deepest point in the lake many times with my Garmin chartplotter. It has read from 201 to 204 consistently.

Along with info from the previous posts, I would be skeptical that 183' is deeper than Winni.

I, too, enjoyed the article (except for that)!

Newfound Lake's deepest spot of 183' is close enough to the West Side Rd granite cliffs that you can cast a fishing line while standing on the roadside rocky embankment into the deep water.

There's one small parking spot, close by.

Directly behind the road and very close to the lake is a vertical granite cliff of maybe 200' height, or do.

Similar to Lake Winnipesaukee, Newfound Lake was created by building a dam across the outflow water in the early 1800's.
