Lake Mapping in Pennsylvania

Lake & reservoir mapping in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania's Pocono lake communities and state-park reservoirs need current depth and vegetation maps for dredging permits, weed control and dam-safety records.

Pennsylvania has more than 2,500 lakes and reservoirs. Lake Monitor AI provides on-site bathymetric depth mapping, aquatic vegetation mapping, bottom composition and hardness mapping, fish and habitat mapping, side-scan imagery and GIS deliverables for waterbodies of every size across the state — from private ponds to major reservoirs.
