Behr, Rose-Anna, 2017, Water depth of Hopewell Lake and Scotts Run Lake—French Creek State Park, Berks County, Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania Geological Survey, 4th ser., Open-File Report OFMI 17–02.0, 5 pls. [Available online.]
Description
This miscellaneous investigation consists of bathymetric (lake-depth) maps of Hopewell and Scotts Run Lakes in French Creek State Park, southeastern Pennsylvania. The maps include a 15-inch by 12-inch color map of Hopewell Lake, and a color and a black-and-white map of both lakes that prints on letter-size paper. The report is one of many similar reports that were produced by the Pennsylvania Geological Survey at the request of state park managers and is of use to anglers and boaters visiting the park. In addition to water depths, the maps in these reports display fish-friendly structures, such as stumps or downed trees, and they show amenities in the parks, such as boat ramps, concessions, and restrooms. A readme file reminds the user of the limitations of these maps—although useful as a guide, they are not to be used for navigation.
