31-acre lake near Genesee County. The lake tops out around 29 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 35 acres, worked by 1.1 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. 67% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. End to end it runs roughly 0.4 mi, about 0.2 mi across. It sits in Genesee County. If the bite dies, Ryan Lake is 2 mi to the southeast.
Spring puts yellow perch in skinny water — 3 to 12 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 9 to 29 ft; cold water stacks them in 9 to 29 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 4 ft, rated prime for spring yellow perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm covers the summer program.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
