Boat pilot's view of bathymetric surveying on Lucky Peak Lake, Idaho
Detailed Description
Between May 11 and 13, 2021, hydrologists from the USGS Idaho Water Science Center conducted bathymetric mapping of the Mores Creek arm of Lucky Peak Lake near Boise, Idaho. Data from the survey will help reseroir managers and wildlife biologists understand water depths at various reservoir pool elevations. Wtih that information they can adjust reservoir levels to suppor successful big-game migrations across Mores Creek.

Bathymetric Survey of the Mores Creek Arm of Lucky Peak Lake
In 2004, about 90 migrating elk and 25 mule deer broke through thin ice and drowned as they attempted to cross the Mores Creek arm of Lucky Peak Lake upstream of the Highway 21 bridge. To prevent any similar incidents, reservoir managers and wildlife biologists needed a better understanding of water depths over a range of reservoir pool elevations.
