Delaney County Park Lake depth map
Delaney County Park Lake in Washington County, Indiana reaches a depth of 32 feet. Delaney County Park Lake is charted here across 11 closed depth contours, from the 10 ft line down to 30 ft, enclosing about 48 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 20 ft line, and only under an acre lie inside the deepest one. Every contour is on the interactive map below, free and without an account.

Acreages are computed from the closed Indiana DNR Lake Bathymetry contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 48 acres inside the outermost charted contour (the 10 ft line), which is the outer edge of the mapped water, several state files carry no 0 ft shoreline line, so this is not the same as a share of the lake's published surface area. The survey also records a 32 ft sounding, marked as a point rather than a closed contour, so it is not charted as a band.
Fishing Delaney County Park Lake: an evenly graded bottom
The survey encloses about 48 acres of Delaney County Park Lake inside its 10 ft contour, and half of that water lies inside the 20 ft line, so the bottom loses depth gradually and evenly, with no broad shelf and no single abrupt drop. Between 10 and 12 ft the mapped water sheds 8 acres in 2 ft of depth, the sharpest change on the chart, start on that band, because it is where the bottom stops being flat. Inside the 30 ft contour there is under an acre of water, toward the western side of the lake: a single pocket rather than a basin, and worth a drift over in high summer. Nothing here reaches a true cold-water layer at 32 ft, so structure does the thermocline's work: the points and inside turns where the 10 and 12 ft lines pinch together fish hardest in early season, and again as fish follow bait back down in autumn.
Delaney County Park Lake depth map FAQs
- How deep is Delaney County Park Lake?
- Delaney County Park Lake reaches a maximum depth of 32 feet in the Indiana DNR Lake Bathymetry survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 11 closed depth contours over about 48 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 20 ft line. The 32 ft figure is a single recorded sounding rather than a closed contour, so the deepest line you can actually trace on the map is 30 ft.
- Where is the deepest part of Delaney County Park Lake?
- The deepest charted water on Delaney County Park Lake lies inside the 30 ft contour, toward the western side of the lake. That contour encloses under an acre, under 1% of the mapped water, so it is a small target on a small water, the depth chart above gives the contour to line up on.
- How much of Delaney County Park Lake is shallower than 20 feet?
- About half. The 20 ft contour encloses 23 acres of the roughly 48 acres inside the outer 10 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 20 feet. The sharpest drop is between 10 and 12 feet, where the mapped water sheds 8 acres.
- How accurate is this Delaney County Park Lake depth map?
- The contours come from the Indiana DNR Lake Bathymetry survey, retrieved August 2026 and last rebuilt on August 19, 2026. Depths change over time with water levels and sediment, so treat this map as a planning guide for fishing, and never use it for navigation. Per Indiana DNR, the data are graphical representations for reference only, not a survey instrument. Acreages are computed from the published contour geometry, not from a separate area survey, so read them as close approximations.
