169-acre lake near Grou. The lake tops out around 19 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. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The drawn water covers 169 acres wrapped in 2.8 miles of bank. With a 1.5 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.8 mi with a 0.7-mi widest point. Wijde Ee (Grou) sits 1 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.
