This dataset is a LAS (industry-standard binary format for storing lidar point clouds) dataset containing light detection and ranging (lidar) data and sonar data representing the beach and near-shore bathymetry of Lake Superior at Minnesota Point, near the Duluth entry, Duluth, Minnesota. Average point spacing of the LAS files in the dataset are as follows: lidar, 0.055 meters (m); multibeam sonar, 0.511 m; single-beam sonar, 1.687 m. The LAS dataset was used to create digital elevation models (DEMs) of 10 m (32.8084 feet) and 1 m (3.28084 feet) cell size, of the approximate 1.78 square kilometer surveyed area. Lidar data were collected November 01, 2022 using a boat mounted Velodyne VLP-16 unit and methodology similar to that described by Huizinga and Wagner (2019). Multibeam sonar data were collected October 31-November 01, 2022 using a Norbit integrated wide band multibeam system compact (iWBMSc) sonar unit and methodology similar to that described by Richards and Huizinga (2018). Single-beam sonar data were collected November 01, 2022 using a Ceescope echosounder and methodology similar to that described by Wilson and Richards (2006). This project followed similar methods to that of Wagner, Lund, and Sanks (2020), who completed a similar survey in 2019.
