25-acre pond near GREENFIELD. The lake tops out around 15 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.
Drawn out, this is 25 acres of water rimmed by 0.8 miles of bank. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.3 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. You'll find it in Hillsborough County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Sunset Lake, 2 mi northwest of here.
