I would give a few different kinds of spots an honest chance and I would build the day around the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the easiest way to waste a day is to keep moving without learning anything.

Fish recorded in this water

The species record attached to Cranberry Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch; which gives me something real to work with around weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weeds and easy cover for panfish, and use the first few bites to narrow the plan.

An easy starting plan

For a first trip to Cranberry Lake, I would keep one shallow option and one deeper option ready so the day does not depend on a single idea, then I would verify any special water rules before deciding what can go in the cooler.
