94-acre lake near Cody Region. The lake tops out around 165 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Traced from the shoreline, Beauty Lake runs 95 acres with 2.1 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Roughly 18% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.7 mi with a 0.4-mi widest point. The water lies in Park County. The nearest mapped water is Crane Lake, 1 mi to the southwest.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a feeding flat at roughly 6 ft, rated good for spring brook trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
