This is a smooth mathematical model, not a survey - real holes, bars, and drop-offs will differ. Community sonar (C-MAP Genesis) overlays where recorded. Not for navigation.LakeList assistant

Depth FAQ
How deep is Boot Lake?
Boot Lake is 15 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 9 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.
Is there a free depth map of Boot Lake?
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Boot Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from LakeList depth model survey data.
Where does the Boot Lake depth map come from?
The interactive depth contours are derived from LakeList depth model. Each contour set passes a visual QA review against the source document before it is published. The depths are a modeled estimate calibrated to the lake's documented maximum depth - not a survey, and not for navigation.
