Lake Thirteen is an artificial lake, dug on the creekbed of Runyan Creek, which flows into the lake and is the primary water supply. The water depth varies, anywhere from 2 feet in some areas, to a maximum of 30 feet. Some people believe the lake actually reached 40 feet in depth, but muck and sand have filled in the holes.
