14-acre lake near Sheridan Region. The lake tops out around 50 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The outline encloses 14 acres, worked by 0.7 miles of shoreline. Its 1.4 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 26% of this chart, as modeled. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end. Johnson County claims this one. Bard Lake sits 1 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.
