Lake Eaton offers some great ice-fishing. In the Winter, this is my favorite spot to go ice-fishing. Go out past the bouey line where the lake water exits the outlet into Clear Pond and ultimately down into Long Lake. This will place you on a ledge where the water drops significantly.
Although Lake Eaton has center depths of 50+ feet, the mean depth of the lake is only 26 feet. Lake Eaton can easily be fished for species such as Salmon in depths of 8-10 feet, and Trout in 20-50 feet depths.
Always check the local ice conditions before venturing out onto the ice.
Lake Eaton charges a day use fee from Memorial Day weekend to Columbus Day weekend. Any other time, feel free to drive right in and park in the designated parking spots. However, during season, you can tell the gate watch you are only seeking the geocache. They have been known to wave the fee in the past. NOTE: Camping is prohibited off season.
