Depth FAQ
Lake Phalen has surveyed depth contours down to 90 feet, but no separately verified maximum depth is on record yet.
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Lake Phalen at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from Minnesota DNR survey data.
The interactive depth contours are derived from Minnesota DNR. Each contour set passes a visual QA review against the source document before it is published. The depths are from an official Minnesota DNR survey (measured bathymetric contours); not for navigation.
