78-acre lake near Hammonds Plains. The lake tops out around 59 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Tucker Lake maps at 80 acres behind 1.5 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 40% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 0.6 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. Halifax County claims this one. Kinsac Lake sits 2 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.
