Duely Lake depth map
Duely Lake in Noble County, Indiana reaches a depth of 18 feet. Duely Lake is charted here across 6 closed depth contours, from the 3 ft line down to 18 ft, enclosing about 15 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 12 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.

| Depth contour | Water inside it | Share of mapped water |
|---|---|---|
| 3 ft | 15 acres | 100% |
| 6 ft | 12 acres | 82% |
| 9 ft | 8.8 acres | 59% |
| 12 ft | 6.2 acres | 41% |
| 15 ft | 4 acres | 27% |
| 18 ft | under 1 acre | 4.6% |
Acreages are computed from the closed Indiana DNR Lake Bathymetry contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 15 acres inside the outermost charted contour (the 3 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.
Fishing Duely Lake: steep sides for its size
Inside its outermost 3 ft contour the survey charts about 15 acres of Duely Lake, with the 12 ft line enclosing half of it, so the bottom holds its depth well out from the bank rather than tapering off a long shallow margin. The sharpest change on the chart is between 15 and 18 ft, where the mapped water loses 3.3 acres in 3 ft of depth, that band is the contour to work first, because it is where the bottom stops being flat. The 18 ft contour, toward the southeastern corner of the lake, encloses under an acre of water, a single pocket rather than a basin, but one worth a drift over in high summer. Topping out at 18 ft, weed growth structures this water more than depth does, but the 0.7-acre deep spot still concentrates fish in the heat of summer, and the one-contour depressions on the chart are the ones most anglers row straight over.
Ice fishing on Duely Lake
A shallow lake like Duely Lake is usually among the first to make safe ice, and once the weed beds die back the fish have very little deep water to spread into: just 0.7 acres inside the 18 ft contour. Start there, then hunt the subtle single-contour depressions across the 15-acre basin. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
Duely Lake depth map FAQs
- How deep is Duely Lake?
- Duely Lake reaches a maximum depth of 18 feet in the Indiana DNR Lake Bathymetry survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 6 closed depth contours over about 15 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 12 ft line.
- Where is the deepest part of Duely Lake?
- The deepest charted water on Duely Lake lies inside the 18 ft contour, toward the southeastern corner of the lake. That contour encloses under an acre, 4.6% 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 Duely Lake is shallower than 12 feet?
- About half. The 12 ft contour encloses 6.2 acres of the roughly 15 acres inside the outer 3 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 12 feet. The sharpest drop is between 15 and 18 feet, where the mapped water sheds 3.3 acres.
- How accurate is this Duely 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.
