I calculated 2.75 acre/ft. I used 200x200 at an average depth of 3ft. Divided that by the 43,560. What about a cove? How would you measure the additional water?

Use this to measure your pond surface area:

Then multiply by 4.5' depth.

found out something really cool on google maps the other day. if you click on a point after you pull up what you wanna see on the map, you can drop a pin on the map and then pin to other spots to do a perimeter measurement of your pond and it will also give you your surface area in total feet if you close it in. basically click on a spot on the edge of your pond and keep clickin around the entire edge every few feet until you complete the circuit. makes the whole surface area thing super easy


theres a reason its called fishing, not catching

using your gps cords I pulled up your pond and did the perimeter measurement and it came out to 19287 sq ft, which puts you at less than half an acre. heres the actual measurements including the perimeter of your bow
Total area: 19,287.04 ft� (1,791.82 m�)

Total distance: 627.90 ft (191.38 m)
