76-acre lake in Washington County, Indiana. The lake tops out around 32 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 94 acres, worked by 2.1 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 64% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Figure 0.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.4 mi at the beam. It sits in Washington County. Spurgeon Hollow Lake sits 1 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.
