Robinson Lake depth map
Robinson Lake in Kosciusko County, Indiana reaches a depth of 50 feet. Robinson Lake is charted here across 5 closed depth contours, from the 10 ft line down to 50 ft, enclosing about 42 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 30 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 10 ft | 42 acres | 100% |
| 20 ft | 29 acres | 69% |
| 30 ft | 14 acres | 35% |
| 40 ft | 2.6 acres | 6.2% |
| 50 ft | under 1 acre | under 1% |
Acreages are computed from the closed Indiana DNR Lake Bathymetry contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 42 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.
Fishing Robinson Lake: an evenly graded bottom
Inside its outermost 10 ft contour the survey charts about 42 acres of Robinson Lake, with the 30 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 20 and 30 ft, where the mapped water loses 15 acres in 10 ft of depth, that band is the contour to work first, because it is where the bottom stops being flat. Inside the 50 ft contour there is under an acre of water, toward the southwestern corner 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 50 ft, so structure does the thermocline's work: the points and inside turns where the 20 and 30 ft lines pinch together fish hardest in early season, and again as fish follow bait back down in autumn.
Ice fishing on Robinson Lake
At 50 ft, Robinson 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 50 ft hole, 0.1 acres of it, at first light, then move up onto the 20–30 ft break as the sun gets up, and fish the flats inside the 30 ft line through the middle of the day. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
Robinson Lake depth map FAQs
- How deep is Robinson Lake?
- Robinson Lake reaches a maximum depth of 50 feet in the Indiana DNR Lake Bathymetry survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 5 closed depth contours over about 42 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 30 ft line.
- Where is the deepest part of Robinson Lake?
- The deepest charted water on Robinson Lake lies inside the 50 ft contour, toward the southwestern corner 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 Robinson Lake is shallower than 30 feet?
- About half. The 30 ft contour encloses 14 acres of the roughly 42 acres inside the outer 10 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 30 feet. The sharpest drop is between 20 and 30 feet, where the mapped water sheds 15 acres.
- How accurate is this Robinson 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.
