16-acre lake near Sheridan Region. The lake tops out around 17 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Drawn out, this is 17 acres of water rimmed by 0.7 miles of bank. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.2) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Roughly 66% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi, about 0.2 mi across. You'll find it in Sheridan County. The nearest mapped water is Dream Lake, 1 mi to the north.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 5 to 17 ft, wintering in 3 to 17 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 14 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
