Shriner Lake depth map

Shriner Lake in Indiana reaches a depth of 73 feet. Shriner Lake is charted here across 38 closed depth contours, from the 32 ft line down to 73 ft, enclosing about 132 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 45 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 132 acres inside the outermost charted contour (the 32 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 Shriner Lake: a stepped drop into deep water

About 132 acres of Shriner Lake sit inside the survey's 32 ft contour, and half of that water is already gone by the 45 ft line: the bottom steps down contour by contour into the deep basin rather than shelving flat or plunging all at once. The steepest break on the chart runs from 39 down to 40 ft: 16 acres of bottom fall away across 1 ft there, which makes that band the first contour to work. The 73 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. At 73 ft this is two-story water: the basin can stay cold below the summer thermocline while warm-water fish stay up on the 32-to-45 ft ground, and the fish that move between the two do it along the 39–40 ft break at first and last light.

Ice fishing on Shriner Lake

Deep water like Shriner Lake freezes later and less evenly than the shallow lakes around it, and the winter bite sets up on the first real break, not out over the 73 ft hole. That edge is the 39–40 ft band on the chart above, where 16 acres of bottom tilt away, and panfish and walleye work up and down it through the day. By late ice the fish push back onto the 32-to-45 ft flat. Check ice thickness locally before you walk out.

Shriner Lake depth map FAQs

How deep is Shriner Lake?
Shriner Lake reaches a maximum depth of 73 feet in the Indiana DNR Lake Bathymetry survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 38 closed depth contours over about 132 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 45 ft line.
Where is the deepest part of Shriner Lake?
The deepest charted water on Shriner Lake lies inside the 73 ft contour, toward the southeastern 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 Shriner Lake is shallower than 45 feet?
About half. The 45 ft contour encloses 65 acres of the roughly 132 acres inside the outer 32 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 45 feet. The sharpest drop is between 39 and 40 feet, where the mapped water sheds 16 acres.
How accurate is this Shriner 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.
