2,762-acre lake near Sloten. The lake tops out around 10 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 the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Drawn out, this is 2,751 acres of water rimmed by 8.8 miles of bank. 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. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. Call it 2.8 mi long by 2.5 mi wide at the broadest reach. The nearest mapped water is Brandemeer, 3 mi to the southeast.
