Depth and bottom
Deepest measured point: at least 10 ft (3 m). That is the deepest contour line: the bottom goes deeper. EPA NLA measured 13.1 ft (4 m) at one sampling site: that is not the maximum of the water. We hold 43 depth contour lines for this water.
- 0–2 ft: 3.3% of the water
- 2–4 ft: 6.6% of the water
- 4–6 ft: 10.6% of the water
- 6–7 ft: 7.2% of the water
- 7–8 ft: 7.6% of the water
- 8–9 ft: 8.5% of the water
- 9–10 ft: 56.2% of the water

Water and conditions
Our water temperature readings average 71°F; they do not cover the whole year, so this is not a yearly average. pH averages 8.6. These readings span 2017–2025.
What is hard here
Only 2 public ramps are on file, so the launch decides where you fish.
