Interactive depth contours5-foot typical interval · Modeled depth estimate · Not a survey · Not for navigation
Source: LakeList depth modelmedium confidence · QA passed · Select a contour to inspect its mapped depthModeled depth estimate: contours computed from the lake's shoreline shape and its documented 9-ft maximum depth (depth grows with distance from shore, calibrated to the documented mean depth where available). 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.

Wisconsin DNR fisheries survey

Fish population survey

Structured LakeList extraction from the 2022 DNR fisheries survey. Population estimates, density, and catch-rate indices use different units, methods, and scopes, so each value is presented in its original form rather than normalized against a different measure.

Depth FAQ

How deep is Kinney Lake?

Kinney Lake is 9 feet deep at its deepest point and averages about 5 feet, according to Wisconsin DNR records.

Is there a free depth map of Kinney Lake?

Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Kinney Lake at a typical 5-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from LakeList depth model survey data.

Where does the Kinney 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.
