20-acre reservoir near Laramie Region. The lake tops out around 122 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The outline encloses 17 acres, worked by 0.7 miles of shoreline. 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. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 9% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other. Carbon County claims this one. If the bite dies, Spring Creek Lake, North is 5 mi to the northwest.
