34-acre pond near Québec. The lake tops out around 33 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The drawn water covers 34 acres wrapped in 0.9 miles of bank. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 77% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. La Matanie MRC claims this one. If the bite dies, Lac Pérot is 1 mi to the northwest.
