29-acre lake near Delta County. The lake tops out around 52 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Eggleston Lake Little maps at 31 acres behind 1.1 miles of shoreline. At index 1.4 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 33% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.5 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. Delta County claims this one. If the bite dies, Eggleston Lake Big is 1 mi to the southwest.
