Rosser Park Pond depth map
Rosser Park Pond in Lake County, Indiana reaches a depth of 18 feet. Rosser Park Pond is charted here across 6 closed depth contours, from the 3 ft line down to 18 ft, enclosing about 27 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 9 ft line, and only 5.3 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 3 ft | 27 acres | 100% |
| 6 ft | 15 acres | 55% |
| 9 ft | 12 acres | 44% |
| 12 ft | 9.9 acres | 37% |
| 15 ft | 7.8 acres | 29% |
| 18 ft | 5.3 acres | 20% |
Acreages are computed from the closed Indiana DNR Lake Bathymetry contour rings, with islands subtracted. Shares are of the 27 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 Rosser Park Pond: an evenly graded bottom
About 27 acres of Rosser Park Pond sit inside the survey's 3 ft contour, and half of that water is already gone by the 9 ft line: the bottom falls away at a steady rate rather than shelving off or dropping in one step. The steepest break on the chart runs from 3 down to 6 ft: 12 acres of bottom fall away across 3 ft there, which makes that band the first contour to work. 5.3 acres, 20% of the mapped water, lie inside the deepest 18 ft contour, toward the northwestern corner of the lake. Topping out at 18 ft, weed growth structures this water more than depth does, but the 5.3-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 Rosser Park Pond
A shallow lake like Rosser Park Pond 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 5.3 acres inside the 18 ft contour. Start there, then hunt the subtle single-contour depressions across the 27-acre basin. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.
Rosser Park Pond depth map FAQs
- How deep is Rosser Park Pond?
- Rosser Park Pond 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 27 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 9 ft line.
- Where is the deepest part of Rosser Park Pond?
- The deepest charted water on Rosser Park Pond lies inside the 18 ft contour, toward the northwestern corner of the lake. That contour encloses 5.3 acres, 20% of the mapped water, so it is a broad slice of the bottom rather than a pinpoint target, the depth chart above gives the contour to line up on.
- How much of Rosser Park Pond is shallower than 9 feet?
- About half. The 9 ft contour encloses 12 acres of the roughly 27 acres inside the outer 3 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 9 feet. The sharpest drop is between 3 and 6 feet, where the mapped water sheds 12 acres.
- How accurate is this Rosser Park Pond 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.
