Spurgeon Hollow Lake depth map

Spurgeon Hollow Lake in Washington County, Indiana reaches a depth of 16 feet. Spurgeon Hollow Lake is charted here across 8 closed depth contours, from the 2 ft line down to 16 ft, enclosing about 20 acres of water. Half of that water lies inside the 10 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 20 acres inside the outermost charted contour (the 2 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 Spurgeon Hollow Lake: steep sides for its size

Inside its outermost 2 ft contour the survey charts about 20 acres of Spurgeon Hollow Lake, with the 10 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 10 and 12 ft, where the mapped water loses 4.2 acres in 2 ft of depth, that band is the contour to work first, because it is where the bottom stops being flat. The 16 ft contour, toward the northwestern 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 16 ft, weed growth structures this water more than depth does, but the 0.1-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.

Spurgeon Hollow Lake depth map FAQs

How deep is Spurgeon Hollow Lake?
Spurgeon Hollow Lake reaches a maximum depth of 16 feet in the Indiana DNR Lake Bathymetry survey. Most of it is far shallower: the survey charts 8 closed depth contours over about 20 acres, and half of that water sits inside the 10 ft line.
Where is the deepest part of Spurgeon Hollow Lake?
The deepest charted water on Spurgeon Hollow Lake lies inside the 16 ft contour, toward the northwestern 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 Spurgeon Hollow Lake is shallower than 10 feet?
About half. The 10 ft contour encloses 7.2 acres of the roughly 20 acres inside the outer 2 ft line, so the other half of the water is shallower than 10 feet. The sharpest drop is between 10 and 12 feet, where the mapped water sheds 4.2 acres.
How accurate is this Spurgeon Hollow 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.
