Hackleburg Lake depth map
Hackleburg Lake in LaGrange County, Indiana reaches a depth of 35 feet. Hackleburg Lake is charted here across 7 closed depth contours, from the 5 ft line down to 35 ft, enclosing about 25 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 20 ft line, and only 2.5 acres 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 5 ft | 25 acres | 100% |
| 10 ft | 18 acres | 72% |
| 15 ft | 14 acres | 58% |
| 20 ft | 11 acres | 46% |
| 25 ft | 7 acres | 29% |
| 30 ft | 4.6 acres | 19% |
| 35 ft | 2.5 acres | 10% |
Acreages are computed from the closed Indiana DNR Lake Bathymetry contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 25 acres inside the outermost charted contour (the 5 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 Hackleburg Lake: an evenly graded bottom
Inside its outermost 5 ft contour the survey charts about 25 acres of Hackleburg Lake, with the 20 ft line enclosing half of it, so the bottom loses depth gradually and evenly, with no broad shelf and no single abrupt drop. The sharpest change on the chart is between 5 and 10 ft, where the mapped water loses 7 acres in 5 ft of depth, that band is the contour to work first, because it is where the bottom stops being flat. The deepest 35 ft contour holds 2.5 acres, 10% of the mapped water, toward the western side of the lake. Nothing here reaches a true cold-water layer at 35 ft, so structure does the thermocline's work: the points and inside turns where the 5 and 10 ft lines pinch together fish hardest in early season, and again as fish follow bait back down in autumn.
Ice fishing on Hackleburg Lake
At 35 ft, Hackleburg Lake is a workable ice depth: deep enough to hold fish all winter without the slow freeze-up of a big basin. Start on the 35 ft hole, 2.5 acres of it, at first light, then move up onto the 5–10 ft break as the sun gets up, and fish the flats inside the 20 ft line through the middle of the day. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
Hackleburg Lake depth map FAQs
- How deep is Hackleburg Lake?
- Hackleburg Lake reaches a maximum depth of 35 feet in the Indiana DNR Lake Bathymetry survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 7 closed depth contours over about 25 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 20 ft line.
- Where is the deepest part of Hackleburg Lake?
- The deepest charted water on Hackleburg Lake lies inside the 35 ft contour, toward the western side of the lake. That contour encloses 2.5 acres, 10% 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 Hackleburg Lake is shallower than 20 feet?
- About half. The 20 ft contour encloses 11 acres of the roughly 25 acres inside the outer 5 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 20 feet. The sharpest drop is between 5 and 10 feet, where the mapped water sheds 7 acres.
- How accurate is this Hackleburg 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.
