176-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 9 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Kichha Lake maps at 176 acres behind 4 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (2.1) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end.
