Kelly Lake is deep in the middle at about 41 feet. The water is very clear. The surrounding shoreline is cottages side by side - tight as row houses in Chicago. I did not track many fish, but I did manage to catch o ne beautifully colored largemouth that reflected the clarity of the water = clean water, bright colors. In my opinion, the lake is too small to handle all the motor boat traffic from all the cottages. It was like a washing machine with all the wakes from all directions and the noise was like being on a busy highway. Because there are so many water skiers, jet skis, pontoon boats, etc. A circus train of boaters seemed to have some local understanding that all boats circle the lake counter clockwise. If felt like I was in the middle of a mixing bowl on high speed. Maybe Kelly Lake is OK for fishing during the week in the fall and early winter, otherwise, it is a madhouse. There are good restaurants around Kelly Lake for those who like to enjoy a meal during their excursions. There is a local gas station with lots of supplies and some groceries and, of course fuel on the southwest side of the lake.

Boat launches are less then ideal if your just going for the day. It appears the gas station launch on the south side of the lake is the deepest, but parking is just road side. Fun bass fishing!
