ClearDepth is the water safety app built for boaters and lake-goers who want to know what's beneath the surface before they get there. Whether you're anchoring in a cove, letting the kids jump in, or navigating unfamiliar water, ClearDepth shows you hazards reported by other boaters in real time: submerged rocks, shallow spots, blind turns, debris, and more. And because water levels change, ClearDepth automatically adjusts the severity of every hazard based on current conditions. A rock that's harmless at high water becomes a serious threat when levels drop. Features: Community-reported hazards on interactive lake maps Real-time water level data that updates hazard severity automatically Proximity alerts that notify you as you approach a flagged area Per-lake community chat to connect with boaters on the same water Support for 150+ lakes across the United States ClearDepth is built on the idea that boaters looking out for each other makes everyone safer. Every report you add helps the next person on the water.
