Bathymetric Surveys of Lake Arthur and Raccoon Lake, Pennsylvania, June 2007

In spring of 2007, bathymetric surveys of two Pennsylvania State Park lakes were performed to collect accurate data sets of lake-bed elevations and to develop methods and techniques to conduct similar surveys across the state.
