What this local map set contains

The Muskoka District Municipality directory currently covers 276 lakes or reservoirs. 115 charts use measured bathymetry from a published source; 161 charts are clearly labeled as modeled. Recorded maximum depths range from 5 to 302 ft, with a median of 38 ft. Those figures describe each chart's deepest recorded or modeled point, not a safe navigation depth.

Species records are attached to 276 of 276 waters. The most frequently cataloged targets are Yellow Perch (230), Pumpkinseed (221), Smallmouth Bass (180), Brown Bullhead (170) and Largemouth Bass (161). These are coverage counts, not abundance estimates or catch forecasts; open the individual map to see the evidence and seasonal context attached to that water.

Three useful maps to compare first

  1. Gloucester Pool: 90 ft maximum; survey-backed contours; 18 cataloged target species.
  2. Lake Joseph: 302 ft maximum; survey-backed contours; 15 cataloged target species.
  3. Lake Rosseau: 292 ft maximum; survey-backed contours; 15 cataloged target species.

Start with a survey-backed chart when exact contour shape matters most. Use a modeled chart as broad planning context, then verify depths on the water. Comparing the three examples above also shows whether this area offers one dominant basin type or genuinely different shallow, deep, lake and river options. Access is separate from map coverage: confirm launches, shore rights, closures and posted rules before making the trip.
